X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>The COVID-19 pandemic won't be our last&md
 ash\;because what makes us vulnerable to pandemics also makes us human. Th
 at is the uncomfortable but all-too-timely message by Smithsonian curator 
 Sabrina Sholts of <em>The Human Disease: How We Create Pandemics\, From Ou
 r Bodies to Our Beliefs</em>\, which travels through history and around th
 e globe to examine how and why pandemics are an inescapable threat of our 
 own making. Drawing on dozens of disciplines&mdash\;from medicine\, epidem
 iology\, and microbiology to anthropology\, sociology\, ecology\, and neur
 oscience&mdash\;as well as a unique expertise in public education about em
 erging infectious diseases\, biological anthropologist Sabrina Sholts iden
 tifies the human traits and tendencies that double as pandemic liabilities
 \, from the anatomy that defines us to the misperceptions that divide us.<
