PATHOGENESIS

HOW INFECTIOUS DISEASES SHAPED HUMAN HISTORY
KENNEDY, JONATHAN

VAT included

Description
This humbling and revelatory book shows how infectious disease has shaped humanity at every stage, from the first success of Homo sapiens over the equally intelligent Neanderthals to the fall of Rome and the rise of Islam. How did the Black Death lead to the birth of capitalism? Why do most North Americans speak English rather than French? And how did the Industrial Revolution lead to the birth of the welfare state?
