Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Humans did not make history - we played host. This major new history of the world, a Radio 4 Book of the Week, has had unanimous praise from critics and readers alike.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? And how did the Industrial Revolution lead to the birth of the welfare state?Infectious diseases are not just something that happens to us, but a part of who we are. The only reason humans don't lay eggs is that a virus long ago inserted itself into our DNA. In fact, 8% of the human genome was put there by viruses. We have been thinking about the survival of the fittest all wrong- human evolution is not simply about our strength and intelligence, but about what viruses can and can't use for their benefit.By confronting our ongoing battle with infectious diseases globally, Dr Jonathan Kennedy shows how germs have been responsible for some of the seismic revolutions in human history, and how the crises they precipitate offer vital opportunities to change course. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781804991893

Mind blowing' CAL FLYNIn this revelatory book, Dr Jonathan Kennedyargues that germs have shaped humanity at every stage, from the first successof Homo sapiens over the equally intelligent Neanderthals to the fall of Romeand the rise of Islam.How did an Indonesian volcano help cause the BlackDeath, setting Europe on the road to capitalism? How could 168 men extract thelargest ransom in history from an opposing army of eighty thousand? And whydid the Industrial Revolution lead to the birth of the modern welfarestate?The latest science reveals that infectious diseases are not justsomething 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 itselfinto our DNA, and there are as many bacteria in your body as there are humancells. We have been thinking about the survival of the fittest all wrong:evolution is not simply about human strength and intelligence, but about howwe live and thrive in a world dominated by microbes.By exploring the startlingintimacy of our relationship with infectious diseases, Kennedy shows how theyhave been responsible for some of the seismic revolutions of the past 50,000years. Provocative and brimming with insight, Pathogenesis transforms ourunderstanding of the human story. N° de réf. du vendeur 550df229-bfe9-4773-9385-08780cb323d3
