Episode 216: Pathogenesis
Manage episode 383387371 series 3351475
Now, what seems to be the problem? The answer, it turns out, might well be hundreds of millions of years of viral and bacterial infections. This week we're talking about the history of mankind and civilisation through the lens of disease, which proves out to be more mind-blowing than you might expect. Plus, plenty of our normal nonsense (hats, soap, etc.) and a Recommendation Engine to wrap things up. Enjoy. This episode's mistakes include:
- Unusual podcast segment order.
- Dense scientific prose.
- Reckless hatlessness.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.
