Life on Earth is absolutely and totally dominated by microbes: not only do they live in places we didn’t think were livable, they have shaped our planet – and life on it – in ways we couldn’t have imagined. Not only did they colonize Earth hundreds of millions of years earlier than we had thought, they have colonized every form of life too. Microbes Rule the World explores this new frontier: from rocks in the Antarctic, to hot vents on the ocean floor, to the surface of Mars.
