[A Latin-American perspective regarding the past, present and future of epidemiology].

Year: 2013

Type: other

Abstract: This article addresses three questions. Concerning the past, why was there no pre-Columbian epidemiology? What are the origins of modern epidemiology (including its South American roots)? A surrealistic title has been chosen regarding the future to emphasise the fact that making predictions is not easy. Why are complex phenomena the dark object of epidemiological desire?
