Nature, the international weekly journal of science, recently included Riddled With Life in their Summer Books Opinion section.
Riddled with Life: Friendly Worms, Ladybug Sex, and the Parasites That Make Us Who We Are
by Marlene Zuk
(Harvest, $14, £8.99)
An evolutionary biologist enthusiastically argues
that parasites are a driving force behind evolution
and that their effects still mould us today. Parasites
have shaped us physically and culturally, and affect
our minds on a daily basis.
