Ancient teeth reveal where Black Death began, researchers say - BBC News

Researchers believe they have discovered that Black Death originated in the central Asian country of Kyrgyzstan in the 1330s.

It’s been 600 years since the disease killed tens of millions in Europe, Asia and north Africa.

The mid-14th Century health catastrophe is one of the most significant disease episodes in human history, but despite years of research, scientists had been unable to pinpoint where the bubonic plague began.

Just about when he was to share how he established the connection the interviewer changed the subject then ran out of time. I got nothing from this interview. What a shame when I suspect there was so much more to share.

The reporter interrupted the answer to one question, asks a question of a completely different nature, and then cuts the guy off again. Very dissatisfying.

Very interesting topic, researcher was explaining everything in a comprehensible manner that learning was taking place (at least for me); only to be rudely interrupted, twice.
BBC, precisely what was the point of this discussion if there was inadequate time for same to take place?

[davidbrown]

'Sorry to jump in' at the most important piece of information that he was going to share

[RollaArtis]

Let the man speak! This is far more interesting than than the BBC's interminable trailers

[miamidolphinsfan]

a shame they didn't give him more time...he was quite interesting

[tabby]

Why didn't they allot more time to this very interesting topic? How frustrating for the viewer and the gentleman being interviewed to be constantly interrupted! Now I have more questions than answers. 😕

This is so typical of this "soundbite" news format, as the guest is about to make a point he is interrupted and prompted for the next soundbite; the segment terminates just before it gets to the point. This is no reflection on the skill of the interviewer who is greatly hampered by this inadequate format.

[busby]

why don't you have more time for such and important topic?!

[dimitarstefanov]

She interrupted him, while he was explaining the actual news, to explain something irrelevant🤨

[Scottdent]

Would have loved to hear more... why did BBC host this interview without enough time for the guy to explain his incredible work. Probably spent the rest of the hour on some bs politics they've already covered a million times. At least link us to somewhere we can hear more about this

[buhja]

do you have a link to his paper would love to read it

[judyshallstrom]

It would have been nice to hear more about the positive effects of the Black Death. Historically it is pretty significant and changed the future of a large Parr of the world.

Put them back, we dont need another pandemic

[djurovicjan]

Interesting topic but horrible interview

[alishuseynov]

It was a very interesting talk and he had a lot to say, they should do a documentary style video about it

[Jmichael]

They got bored for the important things, jeez.

[roderckrushton]

Actually am gettin a tooth extraction this week after 3 years waiting .I'll donate too medical science

[roderckrushton]

Maybe they will dig me up in 400 hundred years and solve where covid came from haha

[Sandy]

He barely even scratched the surface.. anyone know if he has videos/written articles about this stuff to learn more about it?
