You’re just 10% individual. For each of the cells which constitute the vessel which you telephone your entire body, you will find nine impostor cells hitching a ride. You’re not merely flesh and blood, bone and muscle, skin and brain, but bacteria and fungi. Over your life, you may take the equivalent weight of five African elephants in germs. You aren’t a person but a colony.Until lately, we’d believed our microbes barely mattered, but mathematics is showing another story, one where microbes operate our own bodies and getting a healthier human is hopeless without them.In this particular provocative, shocking, and beautifully written book, biologist Alanna Collen draws on the most recent scientific research to reveal our private colony of germs affects our burden, our immune system, our psychological health, and even our choice of spouse.

It’s science writing at its most applicable: lifestyle –and your body–will not look the Exact Same again
