Updates & Corrections
-
Clarification 16 June 2022: This story has been updated to make clear that Monica Green used ecological and historical evidence, as well as genetic evidence, to reach her conclusions about the spread of the Black Death.
-
Correction 16 June 2022: This story originally quoted Johannes Krause saying “it was really known where it exactly came from”; that should have said “it was not really known where it exactly came from”. The text has been updated.
