1. Introduction   2.The Plague ...  to be continued

Mankind has defeated all comers in the struggles we have had with the animal kingdom – no sabre-tooth tiger, crocodile or shark has been able to stall the Ascent of man … except perhaps our microscopic competitors; pathogens in the form of a virus, bacteria or God forbid, fungus.  Throughout our history these miniscule machines of death have destroyed huge numbers of people across the planet.  And we, humans, seem to positively encourage their many successes with our move to urbanisation, our migrations, our wars.  Pestilence and plague seem to follow our every geopolitical convulsion.  These crafty pathogens find any convenient vector to invade our fragile bodies – they are in the water we drink, the food we eat, the air we breath.

From the distant past to the present day ‘Plagues’ have been sawing at the trunk of human progress:  in this episode we take a tour through their greatest hits.  Pity the poor Pangolin.

so it goes,

Tom Assheton and James Jackson

The coronavirus isn’t the first disease that jumped from animals to humans. This is historically the way that many of the communicable diseases that plague humankind have spread, beginning with the plague. It was when humans became sedentary and first figured out how to domesticate animals, confining them to small spaces – and often living with them in the same quarters – that veritable breeding grounds for germs were created. The Wuhan market is just one in a long line of such incidents.

Nowadays, epidemics and pandemics can travel the globe in days. But how did things like the Plague travel from continent to continent in the late 1800s? Learn about the S.S. Nippon Maru and how it carried the Bubonic plague from China to Japan to Hawaii before finally reaching the port of San Francisco. 

When you think of the plague, you think of medieval times and the Black Death, but the Bubonic plague was here (and is still here) as recently as 1900.

We're currently living through one of the deadliest pandemics in history. But what can previous outbreaks teach us about handling the coronavirus? Join us as we travel back to the earliest epidemics and move through time to learn about plagues that wiped out entire populations (and pick up some tips for how to handle ours).
