Because Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, can manifest in a variety of ways that include disease of the bone, central nervous system, and other organ systems the analysis of ancient bones looking for TB has been possible. TB has been identified as the causative agent for death in individuals who died more than 4000 […]
