An enlightening presentation with Smithson ian curator Sabrina Sholts as she talks about how the very fact of being h uman increases our pandemic risks&mdash\;and gives us the power to save ou rselves. \;
\n
Weaving together a wealth of personal experi
ences\, scientific findings\, and historical stories\, Sholts brings drama
tic and much-needed clarity to one of the most profound challenges we face
as a species. Though the COVID-19 pandemic looms large in Sholts's accoun
t\, it is\, in fact\, just one of the many infectious disease events explo
red in The Human Disease. With its expansive\, evolutionary perspective\,
the book explains how humanity will continue to face new pandemics because
humans cause them\, by the ways that we are and the things that we do. By
recognizing our risks\, Sholts suggests\, we can take actions to reduce t
hem. When the next pandemic will happen\, and how bad it will become\, are
both largely within our highly capable human hands&mdash\;and will be det
ermined by what we do with our extraordinary human brains. \;
