Many philosophers claim we are what we eat but, as Oksana argues, we are also what’s eating us. Our parasites shape far more than our immune systems, and may well determine where we stand on major policy debates, as well as how we navigate our friendships or our love affairs. Can we know ourselves without accounting for our parasites first? To discuss this, Oksana is joined by Randy Thornhill, an evolutionary biologist and professor emeritus at the University of New Mexico.
