Kennedy seamlessly weaves together scientific and historical research, and his confident authorial voice is sure to please readers of\u00a0Yuval Noah Harari\u00a0or Rutger Bregman.\u201d\u2014The Times (U.K.)<\/p>\n<p>According to the accepted narrative of progress, humans have thrived thanks to their brains and brawn, collectively bending the arc of history. But in this revelatory book, Professor Jonathan Kennedy argues that the myth of human exceptionalism overstates the role that we play in social and political change. Instead, it is the humble microbe that wins wars and topples empires.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing on the latest research in fields ranging from genetics and anthropology to archaeology and economics, Pathogenesis takes us through sixty thousand years of history, exploring eight major outbreaks of infectious disease that have made the modern world. Bacteria and viruses were protagonists in the demise of the Neanderthals, the growth of Islam, the transition from feudalism to capitalism, the devastation wrought by European colonialism, and the evolution of the United States from an imperial backwater to a global superpower. Even Christianity rose to prominence in the wake of a series of deadly pandemics that swept through the Roman Empire in the second and third centuries: Caring for the sick turned what was a tiny sect into one of the world\u2019s major religions.<\/p>\n<p>By placing disease at the center of his wide-ranging history of humankind, Kennedy challenges some of the most fundamental assumptions about our collective past\u2014and urges us to view this moment as another disease-driven inflection point that will change the course of history. Provocative and brimming with insight, Pathogenesis transforms our understanding of the human story.    <\/p>\n<p> ASIN                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 B0B44VNCJQ <br \/> Publisher                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Crown (April 18, 2023) <br \/> Publication date                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 April 18, 2023 <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 English <br \/> File size                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 26920 KB <br \/> Text-to-Speech                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> Screen Reader                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Supported <br \/> Enhanced typesetting                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> X-Ray                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> Word Wise                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> Sticky notes                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 On Kindle Scribe <br \/> Print length                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 302 pages <\/p>\n<div id=\"product-summary\" data-hook=\"cr-insights-widget-summary\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none\">\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-spacing-top-medium\">\n<h3 class=\"a-size-base-plus a-color-base a-text-bold\">Customers say<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-small\"><span>Customers find the book worthwhile and interesting.
