The Second History of Man focuses mostly on bacteria and bacterial infections as the foundation, jumping off into Darwin and evolution, gin and tonics and the discovery of the first antibiotic to treat infection (and it wasn’t penicillin), and visiting with those clever chaps who cook up drugs in the lab. We’ll call upon poets and poetry, celebrities like Frank Sinatra, the Rat Pack, and Bobby Darin, the classical music of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, the tragic story of World War II, Anne Frank and the Holocaust....

We’ll cover epidemics, pandemics, and vaccines, the pox infections, and the Spock principle—that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few...or the one. From COVID and the rise of Zoom, we’ll venture into the rise of Homo sapiens and the fall of Neanderthals, the high sea adventures of Darwin, and the high sea adventures of dementia.
