On the Origin of COVID-19 and Zoonotic Disease Emergence

Sagan Friant, Anthropology

Where do “new” diseases like COVID-19 come from? How do they enter humans and cause pandemics? Will this happen again? This lecture will explore how our evolutionary biology interacts with social, cultural, and ecological processes to influence the spillover of coronaviruses and other zoonotic infections from animals to humans in the past, present, and future.
