Let’s discuss: "Parasite Rex" by Carl Zimmer

You are not just you. Science reveals that all of us are a walking, talking condo complex for an astonishing number of freeloading life forms. Carl Zimmer reveals how parasites quietly influence our bodies, behaviors, and evolutionary history while asking very impolite questions about who is really in charge.

This book is science at its most mischievous. Think mind control, evolutionary trickery, and biology that sounds made up but unfortunately is not. If you enjoy smart nonfiction that makes you laugh and glance suspiciously at your own organs, this discussion is for you.
