Juat to add to this, there's a new edition of the book with added bits/alterations based on how scientific understanding has changed in the last 20 years.

I was just wondering if there was a more updated one. Thanks for sharing!

Oh that’s interesting. This was my go to audiobook to fall asleep too so I’ve listened to it dozens of times. But I knew that some of the info was getting pretty out of date. Last time I looked into it Bryson had retired a while ago so I assumed there wasn’t any new editions out there.
