In a dying world, the surviving human population of the Earth faces the possibility of its own extinction. They will reject that outcome and do as humans have done in the past. They will look to each other for salvation. There is nothing in human history or in human nature that suggests that our species will go feral and revert to savagery in the midst of a global catastrophe. It is far more likely that we will rescue and protect each other. That is what we do. Pathogen is a tale of human survival. We humans like our civilization. When it is damaged, we do not abandon it, we repair it. When our technology goes down, we restore it. When natural selection is about to make a terrible mistake, we reserve the right to correct it.
