In this eye-opening video, we dive into groundbreaking archaeological findings that could change everything we thought we knew about the origins of syphilis. Recent research has uncovered ancient remains of Europeans infected with the disease, predating Christopher Columbus's voyages to the Americas. ✨

Join us as we explore the details of a pivotal study published in *Current Biology*, which reveals traces of the syphilis-causing bacteria in human remains from Finland, Estonia, and the Netherlands. This discovery raises critical questions about the long-held belief that Columbus introduced syphilis to Europe after returning from the New World.

**Key Highlights:**
- Learn about the ancient genomes of *Treponema pallidum* and their implications for the understanding of syphilis and related diseases.
- Discover the genetic diversity found in ancient remains and what it tells us about the evolution of syphilis in Europe.
- Understand the historical impact of syphilis and the ongoing challenges it poses today.

With approximately 6 million new cases reported globally each year, the urgency to understand syphilis is greater than ever. Don't miss this chance to expand your knowledge on this fascinating topic!
