The Body
The Body asks how ordinary matter becomes a living, thinking, aging human—and why evolution leaves that achievement both exquisitely coordinated and full of awkward vulnerabilities. It links cells, microbes, organs, reproduction, disease, and medical practice into a single account of what the body can regulate, what medicine can repair, and what remains uncertain.
The Story of the Human Body
Why does a body shaped by scarcity, movement, and cooperation struggle with abundance, comfort, and inactivity? This book traces human evolution from bipedalism through culture, farming, and industrial life, then uses that history to explain mismatch diseases and consider how medicine, behavior, and environments can support better health.
