Rezensionen

"Aktipis takes an evolutionary approach to cancer, tracing the ways cells 'cheat' natural selection and showing how the human body evolved to outsmart many of those threats. She invites readers to put themselves in the role of a cancer cell and learn about the ways in which the disease and the history of human existence are intertangled."—Erin Blakemore, Washington Post
