:: skeletal data bolsters the case that syphilis did not exist in Europe before Columbus set sail. ::
How does this prove that syph came from the “New World”? Bad logic.
Isn’t this one of those “multiple latin words” type of arguments?

I should note that the fault may lie in the reportage... the actual study would have to make some sense to get by peer review. Possibly, the skeletons all showed markers of exposure to something no other contemporary skeletons of Europeans showed?
