Opis

This is the story of SARS-CoV-2 and its journey through the human population, as seen by the scientists who study its origin, its ever-changing nature, and its capacity to kill us. David Quammen shows how new viruses emerge from animals into humans as we disrupt wild ecosystems, and how those viruses adapt to their human hosts.
