==Historical Perspective==
To delineate the history of rheumatoid arthritis, a researcher must rely on scanty and ambiguous data from old medical literature and buried skeletons.  The current consensus is too speculative for the taste of some scholars.  Nevertheless a tentative best guess has emerged.


The first known traces of arthritis date back at least as far as 4500 BC. A text dated 123 AD first describes [[symptom]]s very similar to rheumatoid arthritis. It was noted in skeletal remains of Native Americans found in Tennessee <ref>http://mcclungmuseum.utk.edu/research/renotes/rn-05txt.htm Tennessee Origins of Rheumatoid Arthritis </ref> In the Old World, the disease is vanishingly rare before the 1600s.<ref>http://www.arc.org.uk/newsviews/arctdy/104/bones.htm
