| Jun 27, 2018 at 10:46 | comment | added | Real Subtle | Toxoplasma gondii also infects humans (through cats) and there were studies to see whether they also modify human behaviour, even though we aren't its original target. I tried to find links but half of the posts say yes, they make humans more risk-taking and other things and the other half of online publications refute this. Whichever is the case, this could be true in this alien parasite: they do infect humans and hybrids but neither of them is its original target, so the behavioural modifications they produce could be either aimed at another species or be an accident of biochemistry. | |
