Your
body is teeming with tens of trillions of microbes. It’s an entire
world, a colony full of life, a thriving ecosystem. These microscopic
companions sculpt our organs, protect us from diseases, guide our
behaviour, and bombard us with their genes. They also hold the key to
understanding all life on earth.
Science writer Ed Yong explains
how bacteria have shaped animal evolution and human health, why
breastfeeding is about more than just babies, how animals can survive
without mouths or guts, and why Australian scientists are fighting
tropical diseases by releasing infected mosquitoes.
