jan 1, 116 BC - Germ Theory

Description:

Marcus Terentius Varro (116-27 BC) believed disease occurred due to minute creatures that cannot be seen by the naked eye. He warned people to not live near swamps due to these tiny creatures. We now know about bacteria and viruses, which can only be seen under a microscope.
