This 5,000-Year-Old Hunter-Gatherer Had The Earliest Known Plague Strain: Study KEY POINTS The early strain was likely less transmissible and less aggressive It challenges suggestions that the bacteria evolved mostly in megacities The Black Death wiped out nearly half of Europe s population in the 1300s. But how far back did the bacteria affect humans? A team of researchers may have possibly found the oldest strain of it in a 5,000-year-old specimen. The plague bacteria was discovered in the skull of a 20- to 30-year-old hunter-gatherer (RV 2039) from 5,000 years ago, Cell Press said in a news release. This particular specimen was excavated along with another person s remains at a region called Rinnukalns in present-day Latvia in the 1800s. However, it got lost until it was recovered in a German anthropologist s collection in 2011.
