There would seem to be ample evidence of entire races being wiped out by pestilence in prehistorie days. In the second century A.D. a great plague devastated Asia, and was directly responsible in China for the fall of the Late Han dynasty. This terrible scourge swept through the Roman Mmpire during the rein of Marcus Aurelius; and Rome experienced in modified form: a confusion and disorder similar to that which had .obtained in China.
