When people from Eurasia and the Western Hemisphere meet, there are going to be those kinds of diseases.īut if you wanted to, it's possible to imagine alternative histories. Most of the great killers in human history are zoonotic diseases. This leads almost inevitably to the creation of zoonotic diseases: diseases that start off in animals and jump the species barrier and become human diseases. I mean, how could that not happen, right? There was a huge epidemiological disparity between the two hemispheres––largely because by a quirk of evolutionary history, there were many more domesticable animals in Eurasia and the Eastern hemisphere. It was pretty clear that at some point, people from Eurasia and the Western Hemisphere were going to come into contact with each other. Well, I think that some of it was baked into the cake.
