Status Updates From Parasites: Tales of Humanit...

reading as a textbook but lowkey interesting💆‍♀️

I'm keeping this on goodreads bc it's genuinely the most interesting textbook I've ever had to read for a class

dunia baruu~~

??? kenapa bahas james cook + ascaris kalo penyebab dia ngamuk ga jelas dan ga akan mungkin terungkap sementara ga ada bukti bahwa ascaris menyebabkan perubahan perilaku secara langsung ataupun tidak langsung? kaya contoh soal logika 'ini premis a dan premis b, lalu kesimpulan benar tapi tidak berhubungan'. binun

"Imagine a diagram of the human body in which parasites represent the organs and other structures. The skin is mites, fly larvae, and microfilariae. Trails of malaria parasites, trypanosomes, worm larvae, and schisostomes show blood circulation. Muscles are made of Trichinella larvae and Toxoplasma cysts. Flukes and tapeworm scolices shape the liver."

Well, that's one way to be poetic

Definitely a lighthearted tour of parasites, with occasional forays into how parasites shaped history and other events.
