Currently reading "Native Nations: A Millennium in North America", by Kathleen DuVal. This is a *fascinating* book! Highly recommended. It centers the first nations of the US in history, setting them against a sweeping history including the rest of the world. So we learn at one point that neither Natives nor Europeans understood germ theory in 1585 (and wouldn't really until 3 centuries later), but that China was already practicing inoculation.
