Parasite Planet

The evolution of life is both magical and cruel. An attempt is being made to see if some babies are born with disabilities that come from genetic fragments. The evolution of every living thing is the result of countless trials and errors. And what disappears in this process is just a number to history. In that distant era, was there any contribution to the explosion of species and the activity of genetic parasites? Are the choices we make really the choices we make? When we choose a spouse, we tend to choose an excellent spouse and a person of the opposite sex with stronger sexual abilities. Is this really pure love? An excellent spouse can improve the quality of life and survival of itself and its offspring, and may create better genetics for future generations. Does greater sexual prowess mean a healthier body with stronger antibodies against parasites? We want to eat sweet food, we want to eat salty food, do we want to eat it, or do the microbial populations in our bodies want to eat it. We need to know that the microorganisms in our intestines mainly come from maternal inheritance. So the tastes of people in different places are different, whether it is due to differences in genetics or acquired differences in experience. Eating different things affects our body's microbial population. So can they in turn affect our preferences for something? In the world of philosophy, nothing is necessarily wrong. Smoking and drinking will cause certain harm to the body. But it can also eliminate harmful bacteria that live in our bodies. Maybe there is no right or wrong in the world, there is just that everyone needs to find a balance point that is unique to them. Everything in the world can only find its own fulcrum in balance

It's great. It introduces the origin and transmission route of parasites that we have never come into contact with but account for the majority of species in nature, how parasites control their hosts at the microscopic level, the relationship between parasites and hosts (the Red Queen theory), and the impact of parasites on natural evolution. It is very suitable for people who are interested in nature. It is best to read it intensively. I have a new understanding. If sex is caused by the pressure of parasites, then if we men trample on the n-sky ship, does it mean that we are trying to have enough offspring to prevent being parasitized by parasites and leading to extinction? ? ? So in the same way, men like to be Neptune's so-called scumbag because of the biological instinct deeply rooted in men's nerves, so men can't control their desire for a woman's body? ? ? ? ? So people have to overcome their instincts to become popular and disciplined? ? ? So according to this reason, I cannot like women? ? ? ? ?

I especially loved the part about how parasites change the behavior of their hosts, it was really eye-opening. Moreover, the author's writing style is very vivid, which made me interested in parasites that I originally thought were disgusting. However, the war background mentioned in the book is still quite disturbing. I hope the world will be peaceful. Overall, this is a book worth reading and will give you a new understanding of the world!

Good books are extremely rare among tomatoes

The perspective of this book made me realize a new microscopic world, and I no longer find parasites so disgusting.

Detailed and interesting, with outstanding literary talent👍, it has been regarded as a model for classic popular science works! People benefit a lot from the pleasant learning process...🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️...👍

It opened the door to a new world for me. We once thought that parasites were host-dependent, lazy lower organisms, but parasites actually stand at a high position in evolution. Their evolution for parasitism is no less than that of free-living organisms. This book also allowed me to appreciate the wonder of biological evolution. There is beauty in all life, and the same is true for parasites.

Simple and easy to understand, good book.

This book is suitable for educating people about parasites, but it is a bit boring. It is definitely a good book.

It has gained a lot of knowledge and is worth reading again and again.

Unexpectedly exciting [eating melon] [OK]

After reading it, I have many thoughts

Popular science book on parasites.

Some reference value

Expand your knowledge of parasites and effectively understand the complexity of nature.

Leading thinking and dialectical thinking are very good

It shows the hidden important position of parasites in the ecosystem. After reading it, I realized that parasites have such a great impact on living things🤔

It's so subversive that it's so wonderful, it directly unlocks the feeling of an infinitely grand new world.

A very interesting book. It focuses on biology but is not obscure. The language is vivid and interesting.
