Bishop Peder Winstrup of Lund died of tuberculosis AD 1679. He is now telling us his secrets, to Susanna Sabin et al. Monica Green has a most-impressive Twitter thread on that topic.
The mycobacteria-tuberculoses in Winstrup's lungs are in the L4 lineage. This aligns with Uganda and Cameroon. There also exist some Pannonian remains: later but also early-modern, Magyar Hungarian - not so aligned. Sabin's crew notes other crews' backtracing of tuberculosis from the Romans. So, Lund got his bug not from a European reservoir but, perhaps, from the Atlantic trade of his own day. The bug itself arose from the Neolithic and in [east-?] Africa.
(American TB came from sealions. F'ing sealions.)
I suppose the Romans had it, for their part, from the Suez port Pelusium and/or Garamantia. Maybe the Late Antique slave-trade did it.
