We all know our own body. We know its capabilities and limitations and perhaps remember what we learned in school about organs and tissues. But all this is only an approximation of the extraordinary biological machine that represents the human body. In this book you'll find details of the fascinating adaptations that allow us to do things we don't usually think about. From the relationship between earlobes and shark jaws to the systems we use to digest food without digesting ourselves to the importance of forgetting things, the chemical composition of farts or which enzyme must be essential for the elves in "The Lord of the Rings". Discovering the hidden secrets of the human body helps us understand ourselves better and allows us to take a closer look at this extraordinary phenomenon that is life.
