Trying to remember a non-fiction book...
I am trying to remember the name of a non-fiction science/medicine book that was reviewed in The Globe & Mail in the mid-2000s. I can't remember the title at all and searching for it has been fruitless. It was an interview with the author of a book on reverse engineering common people characteristics. One example I remember was that malaria did not take hold in the Mediterranean because the people were hairier. That's the sort of thing the author was looking at.
The title of the name escapes me and I'm a little annoyed because one of the other examples was why we have to pee when we get cold. The interviewer asked the author why the book was titled [Insert Forgotten Title Here] and not something like Why We Pee When We Get Cold. I wish it had been titled that because I would have found it by now :-)

Response by poster: Yes!! Thank you! That sounds totally right :-)
