Where do viruses, such as Ebola and HIV, come from and why they are so aggressive? This book changed tenets of evolutionary virology, developing the concepts of aggressive symbiosis and plague culling, which explain much of the horror of plague virus
Our human genome is full of viruses similar to HIV-1. These have played an important role in human evolution and still play an important role in human embryology and day-to-day chemistry. Just how important are they to our evolution past and future?
I am an avid reader and find interest in a wide range of subjects. My main fascination is with Physics, Robotics, Biology, and Human Behavior. Over the years, I have formally studied Physics and Mechanical Practical Engineering.
For me, understanding is a goal, but also a bottomless pit, and I am always amazed how something I thought to know perfectly can reveal new insights. The resulting endless journey is sometimes hard and frustrating, but when a new understanding suddenly solidifies it is just amazing.
