Author: Jonathan Kennedy
Drawing on the latest research in fields ranging from genetics and anthropology to archaeology and economics, Jonathan Kennedy’s “Pathogenesis” takes us through sixty thousand years of history, exploring eight major outbreaks of infectious disease that have made the modern world.
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 — and urges us to view this moment as another disease-driven inflection point.
Provocative and brimming with insight, “Pathogenesis” transforms our understanding of the human story.
