What Science Says About... Black Death: The Evidence-First Guide to the Unexplained

By Scienslate Publishing

A greater share of humanity died in this pandemic than in any other event on record - but the rat that supposedly killed them may be innocent.

The Black Death killed a greater share of humanity than any event on record, yet its cause was long explained by assumption, not evidence. Modern science is finally testing that inheritance.

What emerges from ancient DNA and mathematical modeling is a genetic legacy still shaping immune systems today, a transmission story built on thinner evidence than assumed, and a death toll more contested than any textbook admits.

Inside, you'll discover:
- How ancient DNA traced the pandemic to one Central Asian valley
- Why the rat-flea theory rests on surprisingly thin evidence
- The genetic trade-off surviving in descendants' immune systems today

Part of the What Science Says About... series, where curiosity meets rigorous evidence.
