206 bones. One heart. Two eyes. Ten fingers. You may think you know
what makes up a human. But it turns out our bodies are full of
surprises. What makes tears of joy different from tears of sadness?
Why is a gut feeling so much smarter than you think? And why is 90%
of you not even human? This book turns your knowledge of the human
body on its head. The effervescent van Tulleken twins bring their
knowledge and charm to the page to reveal just how well our bodies
keep secrets from the things that want to exploit it: bacteria,
viruses, fungi, parasites, larger predators and, crucially, other
people. They reveal the remarkable stories behind the science we
are not meant to know, on matters of life and death. Leading us
through these revelations are tales of everyday miracles - the
human stories that bind every one of us together through the
universal stages of life. Chris and Xand van Tulleken reveal the
incredible abilities every human shares, leading us to discover the
secrets that make every ordinary human body ... extraordinary.
