you know, i've thought a lot about the origins of smallpox (there's a couple of interesting ancient DNA papers but nothing *really* old yet) but i never really thought about just how bad it might have been when it first emerged

ofc one possibility is that the hypervirulent phenotype we all know and love evolved later, after the initial spillover -we already know that less virulent strains existed (variola minor)

but man, if the original crossover was as bad as variola major...honestly it's tough to imagine

we have what it did to native americans as an example of course, but the old world was a lot bigger and more connected

placing a bet that whatever its selling this is a european ad i feel like every time i see an insane ad its european
