As most bacteria evolve to a less deatly version of itself to promote spreading, why hasn’t TB evolved to a more harmless bacteria? It’s so old, so there was plenty of time. Killing the host seems pointless in a evolutionary sense.
Thanks!

Im not an expert. Id appreciate those with specific evolutionary theory / knowledge add to the conversation.
