Book Review of Plagues and Peoples by William H. McNeill

William H. McNeill made a great contribution to human knowledge in his book "Plagues and Peoples". He sees world history from an ecological point of view. From this perspective, the history of human civilization has been greatly influenced by changes in epidemic infection patterns. Pest and people believe that the time scale of world history should pass the domestication of infectious diseases that occurred between 1300 and 1700 (p. 232). The breakthrough of sex considered "naturalization" as "basic" was brought directly from the two major transportation revolution at the time. One was the land that was initiated by the Mongolians and the other was the sea that was initiated by the European Union.

As I mentioned in his book "Plagues and Peoples" by William H. McNeill, the concept of sharing humans with disease on a personal scale seems absurd. Humans often suffer from personal interests and emphasize their own lives too much to understand their pointlessness. Many creatures have a relationship with the Earth, like the relationship between black rhinoceros and Oxpecker, or the relationship between human and intestinal E. coli.
