Evolutionary Biologists on Bats and Zoonotic Diseases
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfQUifJAiSI
Bret Weinstein and Heather Heyings' podcast on bats and zoonotic diseases and so forth.
Doctors Weinstein and Heying are evolutionary biologists.
It is long-at 1 hour and 20 minutes-but some may find it of interest. Video doesn't start until 4:56. The bat stuff starts about 22 minutes in.
I haven't listened to it all yet-but this is the kind of stuff I find fascinating.
Of further interest to some might be David Quammen's book-"Spillover" on zoonotic diseases.

Avian flu, swine flu, Ebola and AIDS from primates...
Maybe zoonotic diseases should just be called “diseases.”

Re: Evolutionary Biologists on Bats and Zoonotic Diseases
I read an interesting article last week (which I can't find now) saying that a human couldn't get COVID-19 directly from a bat; it had to have an intermediate vector of some species.Spock wrote: ↑Sun Apr 05, 2020 1:32 pmhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfQUifJAiSI

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
