Oh yeah? I can walk into another room 10 feet away and not know why the hell I went there.

This might explain why Poland was relatively unaffected as the poles tended to use their own clothings

Read up on Dr. Semmelweis, a Jewish doctor who first pushed hand washing in the hospitals.

No one accepted his findings. He went crazy

A very interesting article, I do find it very hard to believe that rodents alone could have enabled such a swift spreading whilst maintaining the reseevoir of the disease for so long, rodents just aren't that prevalent during long winters and rainfall.

True. And once they had spoken language passed down lore.
I believe the implication in the article was that they more or less needed maps in their heads. I don’t know how that compares to other forms of memory.

I mean, for most of history, the vast majority of people were illiterate and worked on memory as well.

Wasn’t it be attributed to that one mill in France somewhere that made clothing for people? The fleas were on the clothing and they shipped the clothing everywhere.
When someone died the first thing they’d do is grab their clothing and wear it.
I remember listening to it on Last Podcast on The Left during their Black Death episode.

Is there a good textbook/ textbook style book on History from the 21st century, or 1990s-present? I can't find good results on google

They were badass. Even in nomadic lifestyles, because they combined their efforts, they had a ton of free time on their hands. Some American Indian tribes from just a couple hundred years ago could pack up and move to follow their game within 30 minutes or less. Or else it was free.
