Recent research suggests that many modern health problems relate to recent changes in our gut microbes. As we have started to look at skin and the environment of our homes, it looks as though the changes in what we are exposed to and covered in externally may be equally as great. In this talk, biologist and author Rob Dunn explores the influence these wild species have on our well-being and the world.
“Predators, Parasites and Partners of the Human Body” was presented at the Houston Museum of Natural Science on 11/9/2016 as part of The Leakey Foundation’s Speaker Series program in partnership with the Houston Museum of Natural Science.
