Plagues Upon The Earth by Kyle Harper
Disease and the Course of Human History
A sweeping, scientifically grounded narrative that traces how infectious diseases have shaped human evolution, migration, agriculture, urban life, empire-building and global exchange, using paleopathology, ancient DNA and epidemiology to show how microbes—from plague and smallpox to influenza and cholera—interacted with environmental change, trade and human behavior to drive demographic collapse, social transformation and the contours of modern public health.
