    The Second History of Man

    In the spirit of medieval writer Chaucer, all human activity lies within the artist’s scope, the History of Man Series uses medicine as a jumping off point to explore precisely that, all history, all science, all human activity since the beginning of time. The jumping off style of writing takes the reader, the listener into worlds unknown, always returning to base, only to jump off again. History of Man are stories and tales of nearly everything. 
The Second History of Man focuses mostly on bacteria and bacterial infections as the foundation, jumping off into Darwin and evolution, gin & tonics and the discovery of the first antibiotic to treat infection (and it wasn’t penicillin), visiting with those clever chaps who cook up drugs in the lab. We’ll call upon poets & poetry, celebrities like Frank Sinatra, the Rat Pack, and Bobby Darin, the classical music of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, the tragic story of World War II, Anne Frank and the Holocaust, tuberculosis, and a few of the rich & famous who suffered from TB, travelling back in time to the Black Death which wiped out 25 percent of humans on Earth, exploring the origins of a salon and a saloon, Columbus and the Age of Discovery, the lost generations of childhood, ending with the invention of the Internet.

    The early history of the territory now known as Ukraine is marked by a series of ancient cultures and civilizations that shaped the region's development before and during the Dark Ages. The area was initially inhabited by the Dacians, a group known for their connections to the wider Thracian culture, alongside various nomadic tribes such as the Cimmerians, Scythians, and Sarmatians. These peoples made significant contributions to the cultural and political landscape of Eastern Europe during the Iron Age. 
From around 750 BC to 250 BC, the Scythians established a powerful kingdom that extended its influence over much of the Eurasian steppes, including the territories of modern-day Ukraine. The Scythian kingdom is well-known for its unique art, horse-riding culture, and its role as a dominant force in the region. Meanwhile, Greek colonists founded several cities on the northern shores of the Black Sea during the 6th century BC, including Tyras, Olbia, and Hermonassa. These cities became important trading hubs and cultural centers, remaining under Roman and later Byzantine control until the 6th century AD.

    The Theaetetus is one of Plato's dialogues concerning the nature of knowledge, written circa 369 BC. In this dialogue, Socrates and Theaetetus discuss three definitions of knowledge: knowledge as nothing but perception, knowledge as true judgment, and, finally, knowledge as a true judgment with an account. Each of these definitions is shown to be unsatisfactory.
