CAL FLYNIn this revelatory book, Dr Jonathan Kennedy argues that
germs have 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 an Indonesian volcano
help cause the Black Death, setting Europe on the road to
capitalism? How could 168 men extract the largest ransom in history
from an opposing army of eighty thousand? And why did the
Industrial Revolution lead to the birth of the modern welfare
state?The latest science reveals that infectious diseases are not
just something that happens to us, but a fundamental part of who we
are.Indeed, the only reason humans don't lay eggs is that a virus
long ago inserted itself into our DNA, and there are as many
bacteria in your body as there are human cells. We have been
thinking about the survival of the fittest all wrong: evolution is
not simply about human strength and intelligence, but about how we
live and thrive in a world dominated by microbes. By exploring the
startling intimacy of our relationship with infectious diseases,
Kennedy shows how they have been responsible for some of the
seismic revolutions of the past 50,000 years.Provocative and
brimming with insight, Pathogenesis transforms our understanding of
the human story.
