Darwin.

there wasn't just one outbreak, but several, and they tended to occur in waves.

There was even fear of it during the 16the century.

Eventually those who had an immunity to it survived and those without that immunity died off. Darwin says that people with favorable traits tend to breed and survive better than those that don't. So if you had to chose between john the butcher who was alive and well, and jim the farmer who was covered in black spots, who would you choose to marry and make babies with?

I think the mortality rate was so high that it self limited, much like the outbreaks of ebola virus today. Those who developed immunity survived. At the first, people died in a matter of hours, but as all viruses do, it became weaker as it was transmitted.

It ending could only be determined if it was actually known what the disease was.
