Those National Geographic images are astonishing. I've just subscribed - currently £25 for a year in the UK, which seems absurdly good value.

This article embedded from the 2014 picture was worth revisiting:

If the power of a gene can extend to manipulation of the physical world, Dawkins wondered, could it not extend as well to the manipulation of another living creature? Dawkins argued that it could, and he pointed to parasites as his prime example. The ability of a parasite to control the behavior of a host is encoded in its genes. If one of those genes mutated, the host’s behavior would change.

Depending on how it changed, the mutation might help or harm the parasite. If a flu virus mutates so that its victims lock themselves away and starve to death, the virus will be unlikely to spread to other hosts, and it will disappear from the population of viruses. A mutation in a parasite that influences a host’s behavior for the better will become more common. If a wasp acquires a mutation that compels its ladybug host to begin to act as a bodyguard, for example, its offspring carrying that trait will thrive, because fewer of them will be killed by predators.

didn't they do an earlier slice / scan thing using thicker slices and, iirc, a prisoner?

ha, yes, it's in the linked article:

"The cadaver was supposed to be anonymous, but when the press found out that the first Visible Human was an executed convict in Texas..."

(i think i remember reading it in Wired at the time, ~1993. oh, https://www.wired.com/1995/05/digital-dead-man/)
