If you liked the Diamond book you might enjoy the much older book by Hans Zinsser, "Rats, Lice, and History", which is an interesting historical perspective of history, if you will.
This has been an excellent question, I have already downloaded the book on Mitochondria, and the Rat, Lice and History sounds right up my street. Suggestions to keep me happy for a while. :) Thank you Topum and also Wearwolf and Randomdreams.
I will note the mitochondria book is probably more meaningful to those of us who are microbiologists, but as regards part of the biogenesis problem, it's pretty amazing.
