This is the Zoom registration option for this course.

Throughout the course of human history, historically significant events such as wars and migrations are typically looked at through examinations of significant leaders, often generals, admirals, and/or influential political and thought leaders. This course, by contrast, will examine one of the most, perhaps the most, influential “actor” on human history, the mosquito.

Using parts of a large documentation that is rarely used in traditional history courses and investigations, we will examine the battle between humanity and mosquitoes for domination of the world and how humankind and mosquitoes have influenced each other in surprising ways since hominins entered the historical record.

This course will combine lecture with class discussions.

NOTE: This course will meet over five sessions, but is listed on schedule for six. Class will be cancelled for one of the six dates; info to come.
