by David Meyer

Bacteria and viruses have played a fascinating, unexpected role in human, urban, and political development.

Jonathan Kennedy – a reader in politics and global health at Queen Mary University of London’s Centre for Public Health and Policy – details how bacteria and viruses have served as the driving force behind migrations, conquests, and the rise and fall of entire societies.
