Explanation:

The original statement has a comma - splice error. The two independent clauses "A human disease from almost seven hundred years ago made headlines again recently" and "in 2011, scientists reported reconstructing the DNA of the bacterium responsible for the Black Death of 1347 - 51" are incorrectly joined by just a comma. The correct way is to use a period to separate them. So "recently. In 2011, scientists" is the correct option.

Answer:

recently. In 2011, scientists
