Abstract
As palaeopathology appears to have confirmed Yersinia pestis as the organism responsible for all three pandemics of plague (Justinian, Black Death and Modern), arguments for the origin of the disasters have given way to debates on their effects. Records narrate the horrors but barely hint at historical results. This article maintains each pandemichashada lasting effect and, cumulatively,Y. pestis has been more influential than gun powder and could still be explosive.
