Scientists just cracked the case of the world’s first recorded pandemic—the Justinian Plague. By analyzing DNA from 1,500-year-old teeth found in Jordan, they confirmed Yersinia pestis (yep, the same bacteria behind the Black Death) caused the ancient outbreak. Turns out, pandemics have been crashing our parties for millennia, and the threat never really goes away. Wild to think we’re still dealing with some of the same germs as ancient empires! #History #history #science
