Diseases Throughout History... Created by Tina Tabrizi
We can trace history through many different aspects, but the one I find the most interesting of all happens to be diseases. Diseases have had the ability to change history, wiping out almost entire populations, or molding the cosmology of early civilizations. My mission is look at how diseases have played their role in our world's history broken down into 6 time periods listed to the left. Doing this I hope to answer some of my questions concerning our world's history: * How have humans adapted or reacted to the changes brought on by diseases?
* How do diseases form and spread?
* What advancements have been made in today's medical world from the study of paleopathology?
* What was the biggest medical discovery that prolonged the human life?
