Document Summary
Most diseases occur from us becoming settlers. Had an amazing diet, compared to today. Small populations -> did not have to worry about spread of germs and being close to waste. Groups were never in the area long enough to pollute water sources with human and other waste. Canada and russia are the only countries with non-polluted water sources. It could be possible that the next world war occurs not because of oil but for clean water. No refuse pile to attract disease carrying insects. They had no domestic animals as they were a mobile society. Hunter/gatherers covered the entire earth 1. 5 to 1. 8 million years ago. These infections would be incidental and rare. Read article workers may have been exposed in winnipeg lab - feb 2nd. Different people with different skill set - not everyone knows what you know. If a person would fall sick they would be kicked out of the group -> prevents pop spread.
