Truly fascinating. It's amazing to hear about all the different ways that mosquitos (aka: maleria) affected the outcomes of critical moments in history, all the way from the time of the dinosaurs to modern day. It's staggering, and I never tired hearing story after story as I worked through the book. There are some really cool almost anecdotal stories, and then really big and profoundly human history shattering epics. I'd highly recommend this to people that enjoyed "Sapiens".
