> things started to go awry when humans harnessed the power of naturally occurring antibiotics and released man-made antibiotics to the public If you're interested in learning more about the general topic of antibacterial and viral resistance evolution driven by modern medicine, this primary source is a great introduction with a wide range of historical examples [1]. For a slightly more focused treatment on viral evolution, see [2].
