What is color? Not just pigment. Not just light. Not even just perception. Color is a system. A language written in wavelengths, built by biology, shaped by culture, and weaponized by power. From ancient dyes to modern marketing, from the psychology of red to the physics of violet, COLOR is a vibrant walk through everything we think we see… and everything we’ve been trained to feel. Explore how the brain edits the spectrum, how flags and uniforms manipulate emotion, how art history is lined with poison, and why no one saw “blue” until they invented a word for it. This is not a book about art.

Why do we have bodies? Where did this weird meat suit come from? And how did we go from ancient guesses about "black bile" to installing pacemakers and printing 3D organs? In this audiobook, JJ takes you on a full-body tour through the history of anatomy, from mummified pharaohs to modern mind uploads. We crack it open, name the parts, track the fluids, x-ray the bones, and watch as the human body goes from sacred vessel to scanned-and-sold biometric data. This isn't a textbook. It's a scalpel with jokes. And it's got everything inside.

Biology 101: A History of Life is the story of how humans discovered life from the outside in. Poking, slicing, sketching, sequencing, and arguing our way toward understanding what it means to be alive. From Aristotle’s animal lists to Darwin’s dangerous idea. From Mendel’s peas to the human genome. From hand-ground glass to CRISPR gene editing. This is not a textbook. It’s a history of discovery. The brilliant, chaotic, often accidental process that turned biology from folklore into code.
