Gray wolves were rescued from the brink of extinction when the government abolished the law that organised the extermination of wolves on federally owned lands, which led to the slaughtering of more than 25,000 wolves. After the Senate withdrew the gray wolf from the endangered species list, in 2011, the slaughtering of wolves began to escalate again.

Firstly, Mann introduces the idea that disease was one of the major reasons Scotland and England completely merged. In 1698, the Scots set out to build a colony in Panama. They hoped to disrupt the Spanish monopoly on both silver and silk. The venture was a colossal failure as almost 84% of the colonists died because of disease.…
