"An extraordinary book. . . . With clarity and charm [Dunn] takes
the reader into the overlap of medicine, ecology, and evolutionary
biology to reveal an important domain of the human condition." --Edward
O. Wilson, author of Anthill and The Future of Life
Biologist Rob Dunn reveals the crucial influence that other species have
upon our health, our well being, and our world in *The Wild Life of Our
Bodies--*a fascinating tour through the hidden truths of nature and
codependence. Dunn illuminates the nuanced, often imperceptible
relationships that exist between homo sapiens and other species,
relationships that underpin humanity's ability to thrive and prosper in
every circumstance. Readers of Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma
will be enthralled by Dunn's powerful, lucid exploration of the role
that humankind plays within the greater web of life on Earth.
