Fascinating biological discussions...with many unusual perspectives. Topics include evolution, DNA/genetics, diseases, aging etc.
Some things I found particularly interesting were his discussion of primitive humans being perhaps aquatic and having childbirth in the water, cell death being programmed after about 60 divisions (shortening of telomeres), and adverse fetal or life environments triggering genetic variability.
Writing style is clear, not too simple, not too technical.
