Paper Summary:

This paper examines how the evolution of man can be seen in the diseases of our history and the advent of our personified warrior natures. It looks at how the evolution of a single cell to millions of victims illustrates this best as the events between these two points coincide with and are supported by science. In particular, it discusses the relationship of disease and man embodied in three diseases, the common cold, AIDS, and biological warfare.

From the Paper:

"The theory of evolution extends to all aspects of life whether they are germs, people or military weapons. Since the dawn of time, things have evolved and changed and shown consistent motion in a direction known as forward or the future. During this movement and change, many processes and patterns can b observed and established in order to define the history of things and the future of things to come. Through the use of applied sciences, such as archaeology and anthropology, a definite and meaningful method of attaining truth is constructed and practiced in order to maintain and understand the forward progression of things."
