Reviews for The Wild Life of Our Bodies: Predators, Parasites, and Partners That Shape Who We Are Today
"A pleasure to read. He is not a biologist moonlighting as a writer; he is both. Dunn also does a wonderful job interspersing history, research, and speculation with real-life human beings. He has a natural flair for drama and tension ... a highly readable, informative mashing of ideas and disciplines."
