From the rise of Homo Sapiens to the fall of Rome and the birth of capitalism, it was germs that played a leading role in shaping human history, according to Jonathan Kennedy, author of "Pathogenesis: A History of the World in Eight Plagues." He discusses how the humble microbe toppled empires and won wars, and how COVID-19 will transform humans. Jonathan Kennedy teaches politics and global health at Queen Mary University of London.
