This book offers a completely new view of human history, in which the only, main and most powerful force in determining the fate of many generations was... mosquitoes. Mosquitoes have influenced the future of entire empires and nations for millennia, acting devastatingly on economies and determining the outcome of major wars that have killed nearly half of humanity. During our relatively short existence, mosquitoes sent about 52 billion people into the world with a total population of 108 billion. This book about the greatest purveyor of death we have ever known is the story of mosquito rule in the evolution of humanity and its indelible impact on our modern world order.
