3rd qtr. - 1st post - Thursday 1/30/14 "Evolution video & TB article"

This week we watched the PBS video "The Evolutionary Arms Race" in which it outlined the probems associated with the evolution of TB.  Reflecting on the video and / or the linked article below, comment on the evolution of TB.  What do you think? What should society do? What steps should be taken?
