Explanation:

Thomas Hobbes was an English philosopher considered one of the founders of modern political philosophy. His best known work is the Leviathan (1651), where he laid the foundations of contractarian theory, of great influence in the development of Western political philosophy. In addition to the philosophical field, he worked in other fields of knowledge such as history, ethics, theology, geometry or physics.

He is considered the theoretician par excellence of political absolutism, although in his thought appear fundamental concepts of liberalism such as the right of the individual, the natural equality of people, the conventional nature of the State (which will lead to the subsequent distinction between this and society civil), the representative and popular legitimacy of political power (since it can be revoked if it does not guarantee the protection of its subordinates), etc. His conception of the human being as equally dependent on the laws of matter and movement (materialism) continues to enjoy great influence; as well as the notion of human cooperation based on personal interest.

the catholic church withhold people's access to the bible during the middle ages.

people could go to church and listen to the teachings, but it was absolutely forbidden to own and/or read the books of both the old and new testaments. it was also prohibited to translate the books (which where originally in biblical hebrew) to any other language.

this was done so the church could remain in control of what their teachings were and to enhance their importance and power, while also being able to judge people's actions through information that was unavailable for the general public.

genetics is the study of how dna works, the methodologies defining the new recent technologies allow scientist to have a panoramic view of the entire dna landscape, especially how genomes interact with their environment, including off course, factors outside their organisms.

thus is very possible the existence of both scenarios, where populations of isolated individuals have different genetic traits, and share traits related to genetic mutation, due rats can easily travel overseas using human transport channels. so scientists could get a vast number of data, including human interaction, evolution of rodents, health development, spread of infections, development of new organisms, how genomes evolve in different environments and so on.
