Paperback. Condición: 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.

Softcover. Condición: Fine. Gebrochener Buchrucken / Seiten oder Softcover umgeknickt. A BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK, TIMES SCIENCE BOOK OF THE YEAR, and SUNDAY TIMES SCIENCE BOOK OF THE YEAR, this work presents a powerful argument about the profound impact of germs on humanity throughout history. Praised for its engaging narra…tive and insightful analysis, it challenges long-held beliefs about colonialism and human evolution. Dr. Jonathan Kennedy reveals how infectious diseases have been pivotal in shaping key historical events, from the triumph of Homo sapiens over Neanderthals to the fall of Rome and the rise of Islam. The book poses intriguing questions, such as how an Indonesian volcano contributed to the Black Death and why the Industrial Revolution spurred the modern welfare state. Kennedy emphasizes that infectious diseases are integral to our identity, influencing our biology and societal structures. He highlights that the reason humans do not lay eggs is due to a virus that integrated into our DNA, and that our bodies host as many bacteria as human cells. By reframing the concept of evolution, he argues that it is not solely about human strength but our adaptability in a microbe-dominated world. Through this exploration, the text offers a transformative perspective on the human story, revealing the intimate relationship between humanity and infectious diseases over the past 50,000 years.
