Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"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"Darwinian approach to evolution of cancer and cancer-resistance. Brilliant book, up there with Nesse & Williams."
---Richard Dawkins on Twitter"
The Cheating Cell reads like a deep and personal hypothesis coming from a researcher who has spent over a decade studying the evolutionary foundations of cancer."
---David C. S. Filice, Evolution"The Cheating Cell makes for fascinating reading and forces a radical reconsideration of what cancer is and how we should deal with it."
---Leon Vlieger, The Inquisitive Biologist
