The real story of AIDS how it originated with a virus in a
chimpanzee, jumped to one human, and then infected more than 60
million people is very different from what most of us think we
know. Recent research has revealed dark surprises and yielded a
radically new scenario of how AIDS began and spread. First
recounted in Spillover, which Walter Isaacson called a frightening
and fascinating masterpiece, The Chimp and the River is the true
account of how an unnoticed chimpanzee infection became a human
plague. With a new introduction by the author, David Quammen s
hair-raising report tracks the virus from chimp populations in the
jungles of southeastern Cameroon to laboratories across the globe,
as he unravels the mysteries of when, where, and under what
circumstances such a consequential spillover can happen. An
audacious search for answers amid more than a century of data, The
Chimp and the River tells the haunting tale of one of the most
devastating pandemics of our time."
