Microbes social

As theorist of science Bruno Latour describes microbes, for example, such an understanding raises questions about any simple explanation of political and economic history where one human actor or group is said to have their way over another. There are not only social relations, relations between man and man. Society is not just made up of men, for everywhere microbes intervene and act.. . Explaining their interactions in the world of humanity, Latour explains, these microbes form alliances that compficate those relations in a terrible way. ... 

A political look is supplied by Michael Fumento in The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS. It has been said that AIDS is the first disease with civil rights. Stephen Joseph, in Dragon Within the Gates The Once and Future AIDS Epidemic, observes that an epidemic requires not only a microbe but also a social context. And in the case of AIDS, there has been an attempt to democratize the disease and to assume that everyone is liable, whereas the outbreaks are only within certain pockets of the population. These are those persons whose social habits put them at risk. At the same time, there is the distinct possibility that the disease can be controlled and eliminated within these population brackets. Their homogeneity, which puts them at risk, also makes it easier to contain the outbreak of the disease. (A counter to this argument is the widespread AIDS epidemic in Africa.)... 

Communication is important as a means of coordination, and, as such, is used by microbes, plants, animals, and tissues and organs. Organismal BU use communication to meet basic needs food, security, and reproduction are among these. They use a sophisticated set of stimuli and responses for these purposes. The more social the BU, the more elaborate are the communications. 

Both music and evolution are contextual and harmonize parts together into a coherent whole. Life cooperated to change from asexual to sexual and from solitary to social. Complex organisms delegated vital chemistry to microbes, cooperating in the form of mitochondria or gut microbes. All of these cooperations required communication to keep them in sync or, in musical terms, to mamtam the harmony.
