About the book
A fascinating exploration of the role mitochondria play in the evolution of complex life and in biology's great mysteries. Nick Lane challenges conventional understandings, arguing that cellular energy has shaped not only our physiology but also behaviors such as reproduction, death, and suicide.
The book combines cutting-edge science with philosophical reflections, offering a singular perspective on why complex organisms fall ill, age, and die, and how these processes are intimately linked to our evolution as a species.
