Evolutionary biology
Books
Put me on a path to read all sorts of history, evolutionary biology, and linguistics books.
Not quite as good as Guns, Germs, and Steel, but was still a great read.
Depressing, but Kolbert is a good writer.
Disgusting, but fascinating. The variety and innovation across parasite lifecycles is amazing.
The two books are interesting takes on foreign intelligence. The third book is skippable.
There is very little new here if you’ve read Guns, Germs, and Steel and The Third Chimpanzee, both of which I recommend over this
Another plot-driven sci-fi popcorn read with a familiar story line
