Scientists found the existence of TB in the Homo Erectus bones un-earthed in Turkey. This indicates that in the travels to Africa, TB may very well have been what cuased the massive deaths amongst the transient tribes that headed for the new land.

Well and this is an interesting look into what devestated our ancestors, and as I have always thought, a deeper look into our past, can give us a birdseye view of our future.

Well, if the TB didn't get 'em, the #1 cause of death in the history of mankind did:

Natural Causes! That's right, Natural Causes is the leading reason people die, ladies and gentlemen...and I'm currently taking donations to try to rid this planet of this deadly epidemic.

Well, since the Hollywood writers are on strike, I'd thought I'd re-live an old Saturday Night Live sketch...I think it was SNL....

BadBoy@TheWheel

TB is a natural cause Huber....lol

BadBoy@TheWheel

No really a natural cause, like heart disease, I agree, but the point of the article was it was not old age that killed them...and it wasn't global warming, Al Gore hadn't gotten there yet, he was busy trying to invent the internet with rocks.

ok ,
what is dusgusting about tb rates increasing in both the UK and the US is that i believe tb is closely related to poverty.
i find it to be outrageoous and disgusting that two of the 1st worlds countries should allow their citizens to suffer in this way
