El mosquito

The book ties biology and history in a fascinating way. I'm curious what motivated Timothy Winegard to focus on mosquitoes and their impact across ages.

Learning about the role of mosquitoes in spreading deadly diseases made me think differently about these tiny creatures. Has anyone else felt surprised or disturbed by their influence on human lives?

The book covers a vast timeline, from ancient to modern times. I wonder what guided the selection of specific events or periods to focus on.
