Syphilis history science and societal impact
In 1495, a mysterious new disease swept through Europe. It was deadly, destructive, and seemed to target the wealthy, the promiscuous, and frequent travelers. But what exactly was Syphilis, and where did it originate? The widely accepted belief is that syphilis was part of the Columbian Exchange — one of the many things, like tobacco and potatoes, that the New World introduced to the Old World. It supposedly arrived in Spain in the 1490s with Columbus and his crew, rapidly spreading across Europe and sparing no country, city, or royal court. But what if this long-held theory is false? Archaeological discoveries reveal evidence of syphilis in ancient skeletons unearthed in France, Italy, and England.

And why did people at the time perceive it as a brand-new, terrifying plague?
