Thanks to the recommendation of a friend at book club, I bring you today’s episode which instead of being based on an article, is based on a YouTube video of a presentation by researcher Chris Fields entitled What Are Our Bodies?

Have you been feeling old lately? Well, guess what? You are a lot older than you think. According to Fields, our bodies are part of one single body that is 4,000,000,000 years old. Not only that, it means that we share that body with every other living thing on the planet. It really makes one question the notion of “self” and “other”.
