The wonderful Carl Zimmer has a new book out about the ubiquity of viruses and how they have not only shaped evolution, but how they continue to challenge our very existence. As they said over at BoingBoing:
There are 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 viruses in the ocean. There’s more virus DNA in your genes than there is DNA that actually creates proteins. Viruses are everywhere. Ubiquitous. Silently shaping human history, and the evolution of life, itself.
