I was reading up on zombies a long time ago because I was confused on how it could happen, and the thought reoccurred to me to today, how could is apocalypse happen? So I researched!
One possibility for this epidemic to happen is a parasite or disease that spreads. One such parasite that actually exists in this world is called toxoplasmosa gonii. It's name may sound unfamiliar, but it's concept sounds familiar to me. It is a bug that infects rats and brainwashes them. The parasite can only breed inside of a cat's intestine so it makes the rat brain-dead and it forces the rat to get eaten by a cat. The scary thing is that the rat doesn't even know it's being programmed by a bug to die. This could be possible in humans because we all contain a little toxoplasmosa gonii, yet it is harmless. However like people, parasites and diseases can evolve and could potentially advance to being able to take us over to become mindless walking monsters known as zombies.
Whenever I thought of a zombie uprising, this is one of the more probable causes I thought of. However, how long it takes for those parasites to advance would take a crazy mental scientist to develop it, or for the bug to be exposed to radiation. Get your flu shots.
