Scientists have gathered evidence of tuberculosis (TB) being an ancient disease through the analysis of skeletal remains, where lesions indicative of TB have been found dating back thousands of years, including in ancient Egyptian mummies. Additionally, genetic studies of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium causing TB, show a long evolutionary history, suggesting it has been infecting humans for millennia. Historical texts and records also reference symptoms consistent with TB, further supporting its ancient presence in human populations.
