Scenarios about 'disease resistance'
The genetic or acquired ability of organisms to withstand or recover from infections, parasites, or pathogens that would typically cause illness or death. Disease resistance has profoundly shaped human history through selective pressures on populations, influencing demographic patterns, military campaigns, and colonial expansion.
