Researchers have identified three 4000,<>-year-old British cases of Yersinia pestis, the bacterium that causes the plague. This is the oldest evidence of the plague in Britain to date. Scientists took skeletal samples from a mass grave in Somerset and in Levens in Cumbria. It is said that it was probably introduced to Central and Western Europe around 4800 years ago by people who spread to Eurasia. The wide geographical spread suggests that this strain of plague may have been easily transmitted.
