For some, they supply necessary amino acids to form proteins. That is, without microbes, most of earthly life would fall apart.
Further, the sustenance of today’s life still lies with microbes. Life’s origins lie squarely with microbes. As a good science writer, Yong instead seeks to convey this same material but engages the human heart at the same time. Like most sciences, microbiology can appear as a dry subject when approached through textbooks. The relatively recent development of microbiology taught us that, and ongoing research into the microbiome spills forth clues into how human life functions – and perhaps can be healed – with the help of microbes.Įd Yong is a Pulitzer Prize-winning science writer who engages the subject of microbes with an acute interest in how life works.
What we didn’t know what how well it worked with animal bodies to promote life. Ever since technology for optical lenses progressed to a certain point, we’ve known that there is a super-small world that populates almost every region on this planet’s surface. Humanity has known about the microbial world of bacteria for centuries.
