The source of the Black Death in fourteenth-century central Eurasia

evidence

Ancient DNA from burials dated 1338 and 1339 at Kara-Djigach in the Chüy valley, Kyrgyzstan, yields a Yersinia pestis genome ancestral to the strain responsible for the Black Death, placing the source population in the Tian Shan region on the northern trade corridors.

A evidence is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
