When we see flare-ups/epidemics/incidence cases go up - something changed n the enviro. for humans to adapt to that enviro. b/c before they were adapting well before. Biotic: living; includes food, prey, predators and the pathogens themselves - the adaptability and behav. of them. Climate, water, sunshine, natural disasters that test human commun"s abil. to adapt. : man-made, tech. , interrelat"s w/ e/o, pop. dynamics. All three interact with our genetics/innate bio. and physio. of ourselves - determine our phenotype/overall end health status. Our disease experiences changed not b/c genetics have changed but b/c of interact. w/ e/o and w/ enviro. *zoonosis: animal bourne diseases; helman: worms, yaws: related to syphilis but a skin condition - these die off with the small community so that diseases that survive are the low- virulent ones that don"t kill but are chronic.
