Human frontiers, environments, and disease : past patterns, uncertain futures /
McMichael, A. J.
Human frontiers, environments, and disease : past patterns, uncertain futures / Tony McMichael. - Cambridge ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2001. - 1 online resource (xvi, 413 pages) : illustrations, maps
Includes bibliographical references (pages 366-401) and index.
Disease patterns in human biohistory -- Human biology: the Pleistocene inheritance -- Adapting to diversity: climate, food and infection -- Infectious disease: humans and microbes coevolving -- The Third Horseman: food, farming and famines -- The industrial era: the Fifth Horseman? -- Longer lives and lower birth rates -- Modern affluence: lands of milk and honey -- Cities, social environments and synapses -- Global environmental change: overstepping limits -- Health and disease: an ecological perspective -- Footprints to the future: treading less heavily.
This compelling account charts the relentless trajectory of humankind across time and geography, and its changing survival patterns, from several million years ago when our ancient ancestors roamed the African Savannah to today's populous, industrialised, globalising world.
