This book explores our evolving understanding of the infectious nature of Tuberculosis (TB) as it ravaged the world, particularly in the so-called "civilized" countries of the 1800s. As the erroneous belief that TB is not contagious is gradually debunked through the work of pioneering scientists like Villemin, the author discusses the flawed theories that were prevalent, and how climate and hygiene were wrongly blamed for causing the disease. As science slowly uncovers the truth, the author explores how the nature of TB varies according to race and geography, shedding light on the contrasting experiences of different populations, such as the relatively low TB mortality in French India despite rampant syphilis and alcoholism, and the devastating impact of the disease on uninfected races like the Polynesians. This book offers unique insights on the historical Epidemiology of TB and its global impact, challenging conventional wisdom and highlighting the complexity of a disease that has shaped human history.
