A Journal of Interdisciplinary History Reader
This collection of essays shows the influence of environmental and epidemiological factors on exploration, settlement, agricultural growth, colonization and urbanisation. It’s a compilation of the work of historians which show how groups and individuals in the past progressed despite food scarcities, nutritional deficiencies, exposure to virulent disease pathogens and other morbid and mortal hazards. It shows how human progress was neither linear nor consistent, but it was equivalent across continents and cultures. This book gives mortality & morbidity rates of diseases across the world.
