(More customer reviews)I am writing this because in chapter 8, the author tries to explain the means of tranferance of a feline blood disorder to primates in a captive population as being due to fighting, or licking, when in all likelyhood it was the external parasites, ie. ticks, which could have easily moved from cage to cage in ancient egypt. This is the only flaw I could find in this excellent text, realizing that it is all best guesses, all of which are very clearly explained, down to simians, and then as far back as our feline friends in ancient Egypt.
This was the first book I read, after finding out that my lover, and wife to be was HIV +, (odds are HIV 1E, or 1C). A wonderful narrative of the historical spread of HIV and HIV-like disorders. Very intelligently written, not dumbed down like all too many other books on HIV. Thankyou for informing me, the only way to fight back is through education, as it is the only weapon against fear. If someone you know or love has come to be HIV positive, this should be one of your first steps, and one of the first books you read. J-
