It was one of the first in what has turned out to be a long list of ways in which bacteria talk to each other and to other organisms. "There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." Hamlet Act 1, scene 5

Has anyone seen the tv show called, Monsters Inside Me? It’s on the Animal Planet network. They reenact terrible stories where people get infected by parasites, usually from eating raw food or taking a trip to Africa and similar places. The graphics are great. Scary stuff.

I just got back from Vieques, Puerto Rico, where they have this thing called the Bioluminescent Bay. The water there contains these tiny phytoplanktons that, when perturbed, put off light, kinda like a firefly. We actually got in and swam around, which is kinda gross when you think about it, because we got little phytoplanktons all over us.
It was super cool though; when you smacked the water it glowed!

Shades of this in E. O. Wilson's work:
An ant hill behaves like an extended organism. Maybe our brains are just an ant hill of neurons? Our bodies are just an ant hill of bacteria?
We think therefore we are.
