Podcasts about justinian plague

No quinto episódio da série Mundus, recebemos a arqueóloga Dominique Castex, diretora de pesquisa da Unité Mixte de Recherches 5199: De la Préhistoire à l'Actuel: Culture, Environnement et Anthropologie, vinculada à Université Bordeaux. Em nossa entrevista, discutimos a peste e como podemos estudá-la e identificá-la empregando métodos oriundos da Arqueologia Funerária, parte da Arqueologia que se ocupa do estudo dos sepultamentos, práticas funerárias etc. A peste é um tema clássico dos estudos medievais, todavia, o desenvolvimento de métodos de identificação do bacilo Yersinia pestis nos sítios arqueológicos através da análise de DNA é algo recente, que renovou a nossa compreensão a respeito do fenômeno e abriu espaço para novas formas de estudo dos registros arqueológicos. Foi assim que pudemos associar, sem sombra de dúvidas, a Peste Justiniana ao mesmo patógeno da Grande Peste.   In the fifth episode of the Mundus series, we welcome archaeologist Dominique Castex, research director of Unité Mixte de Recherches 5199: De la Préhistoire à l'Actuel: Culture, Environnement et Anthropologie, linked to Université Bordeaux. In our interview, we discussed the plague and how we can study and identify it using methods derived from Funerary Archaeology, part of Archeology that deals with the study of burials, funerary practices, etc. The plague is a classic theme of medieval studies, however, the development of methods for identifying the Yersinia pestis bacillus in archaeological sites through DNA analysis is something recent, which renewed our understanding of the phenomenon and opened space for new forms of study of archaeological records. This is how we were able to associate, without a shadow of a doubt, the Justinian Plague with the same pathogen as the Great Plague.

What's On My Bookshelf? A Review: Plagues Upon the Earth, by Kyle Harper The Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse | Part 2 Highlights We still have much to learn from the experience of those who lived and died before us. It is urgent that we do so. The long history of disease counsels us to expect the unexpected. The worst threat may be the one we cannot see coming. Bubonic Plague (Black Death)Three stages in history - The Justinian Plague (500's A.D.), The Black Death (1300's A.D.) and Modern Era Plague (1890's A.D.) Almost anywhere the evidence in Europe is rich enough to form a quantitative impression, the Black Death carried off 50-60 percent of the population...the death toll is always staggeringly high. Although many a textbook still claims that the Black Death carried off a third of the continent, in reality, the best estimates are closer to half...In Europe alone, forty million or more might have been claimed by this bacterium. The plague is a killer in a class by itself Small Pox Endemic throughout the Eastern Hemisphere. Brought to the Americas by the conquistadors. Major outbreaks of small pox occurred on Hispaniola and other islands in the Caribbean from the earliest days of discovery but then jumped from the Caribbean to the shores of Mexico in 1520. By the time Cortez approached the capital city of the Aztecs a year later, it had been “hollowed out” by the deadly disease. The small pox devastation continued along the trade routes to the north and to central and south America, having the same impact. Measles came alongside and made its way to the mainland continuing its decimation of those small pox hadn't claimed. In the 1700's it accounted for 10-15% of all mortality in Europe. As the practice of vaccination extended world-wide, small pox was finally eliminated entirely in 1977. It was a global triumph. To date, small pox is the first and only human pathogen that has been driven to extinction. The Great Influenza (1918/1919) Killed approximately 50,000,000 people. One of the single most deadly events in global history. And it infected perhaps one in three persons alive, making it probably the single most coordinated rapid attack by a parasite in the history of the planet. And the threat of future novel influenza strains, replaying the events of 1918 to 1919 remains one of the most dangerous lurking threats to human health. The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History, by John Barry.

In Episode 2, Rebecca talks to Ingar Mørkestøl Gundersen about how modern flooding in Norway's Gudbrandsdalen valley led him to consider the effects of big climatic events in the lead-up to the Viking Age. Ingar Mørkestøl Gundersen is an archaeologist with the Cultural History Museum in Oslo. He graduated from the University of Oslo with a major in archeology in 2007 before going to work as a field archaeologist in Norway, England, Russia, Greece and Sweden. Ingar is completing his PhD thesis entitled Years without summers. AD 536: Crisis or adaptation in conjunction with the Museum and the University of Oslo. His interests lie in the junctures between rescue archaeology, extreme weather events (floods and volcanoes), the effects of climate cooling and the nature of societal vulnerability to these events. 2,15 Gudbrandsdalen archaeological complex 3,30 6th century cooling, disaster theory & societal vulnerability 6,30 6th century crisis, but not the same crisis everywhere 8,30 Explainer of Fimbulwinter 9,45 1815 Mount Tambora eruption 13,30 Ragnarok and volcanic eruptions 15,00 What happens in the 6th century in Scandinavia and the rest of Europe 19,30 Agriculture, wheat and barley crops and modelling growing temperatures 23,00 Regional variations, complexity 24,00 Pollen cores in the Gudbrandsvalley & population changes 26,45 6th century as collapse or transition? 29,45 Anticipating crisis before crisis happens?

Are there days when it's okay to talk about Toronto?  If there are then today is one of them!  I'll explain.Also the top five plagues of all time and what we learned from them?  And are you getting enough sleep? 

The Dark Ages. We attempt to suck a MASSIVE topic today. A thousand year's worth of European history. And actually, since we compare life in the Dark Ages to life in the Roman Empire, we end up covering two thousand years. The period between the fall of Rome in the fifth century and the beginning of the Modern Age that began sometime in the 14th century was an especially terrible time to be a European peasant. During the Dark Ages, you were bound to spend almost your entire life toiling over a small plot of land before you died around the age of thirty - if you were really lucky. If you tried to upend the social order at all - if you tried not to pay the insane taxes that your church or lord levied upon you - you would very quickly find yourself at the business end of a breast ripper or some other horrific, medieval torture contraption. It was a crazy time to be alive, and we look into how crazy it was, and how much better we have it today, on this medieval edition, of Timesuck.  For our donation this month, we raised/donated over $41,000 for the Bad Magic Productions Giving Tree, and have bought eighty Cult of the Curious families presents for Christmas.

Archaeologist and researcher, Sarah Yeomans, talks to us about what ancient plagues and epidemics have to teach us about Covid-19. This talk is about "perspective and hope, we’re more well-positioned to deal with this current crisis than any other humans in history." Sarah takes us through the Antonine Plague, the Justinian Plague, The black plague "the worst we’ve ever seen," The Spanish Flu (a bird and a pig and loosey goosey RNA). She debunks conspiracy theories and talks about wet markets, the clash of disparate ecosystems and secondary consequences: the human reaction to the disease. Sarah asserts that at the end of any collective trauma there is a window of opportunity for real change. What might that change look like?The Q&A portion has been edited for time and clarity.Sarah offers some additional reading: https://www.livescience.com/worst-epidemics-and-pandemics-in-history.htmlhttps://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/were-not-facing-second-spanish-flu/607354/Here's what's coming up on Hearthside Salons. 

This week we take a very timely look at historic plagues and their causes, as well as their effects. We also touch a little on the current issue of CoronavirusDisclaimer : we are not downplaying the current situation, simply putting it in perspective.

The history of mankind is interlinked with microbes. As humans evolved and became more advanced, microbes evolved right along with us. Through infection, disease, and pandemic they have helped shape human culture and civilization. In her book Deadly Companions: How Microbes Shaped our History (Oxford University Press, 2018), Dorothy H. Crawford details how changes in the way humans lived, spanning from hunter-gatherer to modern crowding and air travel, have been affected and shaped by the microbes that infect them. She discusses how microbes such as smallpox, flu, and malaria evolved to be so effective. She explores the cause and effect of some of the major epidemics in history such as the Plague of Athens, the Justinian Plague, the Black Death, and even SARS. Listen to this interview to learn about the history of microbes and their impact on mankind. Jeremy Corr is the co-host of the hit Fixing Healthcare podcast along with industry thought leader Dr. Robert Pearl. A University of Iowa history alumnus, Jeremy is curious and passionate about all things healthcare, which means he's always up for a good discussion!

Plague has a long and storied history throughout the centuries, rivaled by only smallpox. In this podcast, I look briefly at the three major plague pandemics-The Justinian Plague, the Black Death and the Modern Plague. In addition, I look at plague in more recent history as it still infects thousands and kills hundreds in several countries across the globe annually.

We now know that Neanderthals and our ancestors interbred over 40,000 years ago. Recent research has shown that most people of European or East Asian descent carry a small percentage of Neanderthal DNA - about 2%. But two new papers this week examine some of the physical characteristics we may have got from the genes of our ancient cousins. They include some disease susceptibilities and hair and skin characteristics, which may have helped our forebears survive in northern climes.There have been many sensationalist headlines in the news this week suggesting that the deadly bubonic plague could return, when really, it never went away. And while it can still be deadly, it can be treated early with antibiotics. In the Middle Ages the Black Death is thought to have killed up to half of the European population and so too did the Justinian Plague 800 years earlier. Now scientists have compared these two plague genomes to find that they were both caused by distinct strains of the same bacterium, Yersinia Pestis. Knowing how the pathogen evolved in the past is crucial to our understanding of possible future strains of plague. Lead author Dr David Wagner from the University of Arizona tells Dr Adam Rutherford that it's very unlikely the plague will return on a mass scale.It's a windy Show Us Your Instrument this week - Prof Konstantinos ('Kostas') Kontis, Professor of Aerospace Engineering shows us around his wind tunnel. It's used to help develop more effective plane wings, helicopter rotors, and wind turbine blades, but cyclist Sir Chris Hoy has also been a test sample. Glasgow University is currently building a hypersonic wind tunnel, which can test air flow at speeds of up to Mach 10.We all unconsciously synchronise our movements and researchers at the University of Birmingham have shown how professional musicians make tiny adjustments in their playing to keep time with their colleagues. Alan Wing, Professor of Human Movement in Psychology tells Adam how this research about minute synchronisation is helping to inform how robots can be designed to interact with humans.Stem cells can become any other cell in the body from nerve to bone to skin, and they are touted as the future of medicine. Embryos are one, often ethically charged, source of stem cells and in 2006 Nobel prize winning research showed that skin cells could be "genetically reprogrammed" to become stem cells. These were called induced pluripotent stem cells. Scientists in Japan have now shown, in mice, that this previous painstaking method of making the versatile cells can be replaced by little more than a short dip in acid. Professor Chris Mason from University College London tells Adam that this major breakthrough could be faster, cheaper and possibly safer than other cell reprogramming technologies.Producer: Fiona Hill.
