Summary
Bioverse: A Cellular Journey Through Life, Health, and the Cosmos
For as long as humans have been on Earth, we have looked up to the stars for clues to our own existence. Medical doctor and evolutionary biologist William B. Miller, Jr. suggests that we may find more meaningful solutions at the end of a microscope rather than a telescope. Using powerful analogies and exacting science, Bioverse explores the wonders of the perpetual partnership between our personal cells and the microb…

What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Dr. Miller’s brilliant insights into evolutionary biology are provocative and prescient. Bioverse is a profound work of research, exploration, and contemplation with a message - all cells are intelligent. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in our beginnings and our present understanding of who we are as human beings.”
- LJ Frank, Publisher of Narrative Paths Journal, author, artist, philosopher, and former library director
“My lifetime has been spent studying the miracles cells perform, and here at last is a wonderful book that celebrates the majesty of the life under the microscope.”- Brian J. Ford, award-winning research biologist, lecturer, broadcaster, and author of Too Big to Walk, among many others
“Remarkable… Miller shows us that microbes are smart. Humans are smart, too, and his Bioverse takes readers on a fabulous ride from those first surprisingly intelligent unicellular species to us, touching on, well, almost everything along the way.”- Arthur S. Reber, PhD, author of The First Minds: Caterpillars, Karyotes, and Consciousness
