Biological Science and General Biology
Chuko Shinsho / Anyone who doesn't know the word "virus" but its definition is vague. It's an invisible, tiny creature that can only grow inside the cells of an organism, so it's not usually considered a living thing. But the mechanism by which it has its own genome and generates more environmentally friendly replicators through repeated mutations is exactly like the evolution of organisms. In this book, we apply state-of-the-art evolutionary biology to discover the true nature of its mystery. It is a great book that completely changes the view of life by renewing its image as a "terrible pathogen."
