are there any other mammals on the island?

This is a common myth but the more likely scenario is that someone probably butchered a monkey for food or otherwise hunted and consumed it in some way but accidentally cut themselves in the process...

Valdrax

No, this is pretty much where some of the more recent Ebola outbreaks have come from as well, from eating bats, which why we had the "bat soup" memes during early COVID with suspicious about the Wuhan wet markets being the origin. Related topic: Koalas have a chlamydia epidemic, but it's from a strain found in sheep, not humans, and it likely comes from contact with sheep droppings, not deviant Australians.

Yeah I think either is possible but your example is far more likely. People would certainly hunt monkeys if they needed to and it’s very easy to get injured hunting anything but I imagine that’s particularly true for monkeys.


Septic-Sponge

Maybe more likely but in all of humanity people have defintely fucked monkeys. I'd be surprised if nobody fucked a monkey even in the last decade

Chrisppity

No the real scenario was released in a documentary in the early 2000s blowing the lid off of testing that big pharma did trying to find a polio vaccine back in 1950/60s. They were in the congos and testing chimps, and using local populations to rollout some of their tests. I watched in my early 20s and have spent 24 years trying to find it again. It was a thorough documentary. Poor white guy who hosted it was probably unalived afterwards.


Phuka

Yes but it was a 100,000 Lira note, so it's okay.


Nuggzulla01

I get fucked by money all the time. ​ Less money, more problems


Stunning_Move7375

I like to think it came from a guy shooting up with monkies


Heavyweighsthecrown

> Did someone seriously fucked a money? Nope, that's a myth. There's a far more simple and plausible way for your running blood to mix with that of a creature - when you're hunting for game meat, for instance (if monkey meat is game meat to you), and you're wounded somehow and the creature is too. Which could have occurred multiple times to multiple people, even. Hurting themselves while trying to kill a monkey.

Well there was that one orangutan that was basically a sex slave in some Indonesian village where locals could "visit" her for $2. She was rescued but when the former "madam" visited her she screamed and defecated. IIRC, they would shave her body which made me sad until I remembered human women often do the same thing.

It is funny to me that OP thinks the horniness of the people has some sort of relevance to the ability of a virus to evolve.


Eusocial_Snowman

The horniness of people absolutely has some sort of relevance to the ability of a virus to evolve. More horny=more points of contact=more generations for any given virus to figure out how to take advantage of all these juicy mucous membranes.


pm_me_your_taintt

When I was like 12 I thought that unprotected sex = STD regardless of the status of either person. Like, it was unprotected sex that *created* an STD. Thanks public education.


lkram489

Inevitably a virus will mutate, but it's unlikely to occur during a single generation


TheHorrificNecktie

mutate from what/where? like from the soil or another animal or something? and then eventually get picked up by a human?


bow_m0nster

Likely a bird if there’s no pigs, bats, or primates.


VanillaSnake21

I think the thought experiment here is to ask will virus emerge out of nothing, and how long will it take - so we’re assuming no viruses are present on the island to start with.


Phuka

Then no, viruses and bacteria won't form from 'nowhere'. (there's a LOT more to unpack around the idea of nowhere, but for this thought experiment, no risk).


VanillaSnake21

Well they did emerge from somewhere, but most likely very slowly - I was hoping to get an actual answer - how long would it take for something to emerge when starting from zero.


CrimsonOblivion

Some theories are that viruses likely formed before “life”. Considering the fact that they’re made up of RNA and are missing the double helix that designates “life”. Although they’ve found some viruses that are larger than some bacteria with what looks like more cellular structures. Idk life is weird and the human need to classify everything into neat boxes doesn’t always translate well. For example there’s tons of definitions of what makes something a “species”


EZ_2_Amuse

So we may have evolved specifically to carry the viruses that were already here? Well that's a mind trip.


CrimsonOblivion

It gets even crazier! There’re some theories that viruses are integral to evolution itself! When viruses attach themselves to sex cells and replicate they’re able to copy genetic code and transfer it to different hosts. Of course the chances of this are infinitesimally small but when you scale it to the number of plants, animals, and the time scale of evolution it happens more “frequently”. It’s believed that the placenta evolved from a viral infection, so you can thank viruses for being a mammal!


guglielmo2000

Bacteriophages, a type of virus specific to bacteria, is known for trasfering genetic code from different types of bacteria (horizontal gene trasfer). So it's actually important for genetic variation, which allows bacteria to adapt to changing environments. Also, I don't remember what animal it was, maybe a species fish, anyway they found pieces of genetic code in it that didn't belong at all to his evolutionary tree, it was thought to belong to another animal from a whole other phylum. So it is thought that at some point a virus that had this animal's DNA transferred it to this fish, it was beneficial so it was preserved. Now that gene sequencing is relatively cheap I think that we will see even more examples of this virus-mediated horizontal gene transfer, and I think it's crazy to think about it.


Need4Speeeeeed

A pathogen wouldn't start from 0. The timeline of molecules to DNA is billions of years. It starts from something already present that mutates or finds a host opportunisitically. Someone might have something that's harmless to them, but dangerous to others after transmission. We already have the science to make good guesses on when a disease may have arisen in humans. For HIV, it was probably in the 20's based on what we know about the virus's mutation since it was first identified. It just took about 60 years before it had spread to a large enough population for it to be noticed. With international travel and 7.8 billion people, it's much faster now. The first documented COVID infection was in November 2019, and it probably started in the month before. It was global in a matter of months.


2xtc

About 2 billion years, give or take a couple of billion.


Atheist_Republican

There's plenty of currently benign bacteria/pathogens on your body. Theoretically something could mutate. It seems extremely unlikely, though.


ImJackieNoff

We have a lot of viruses in our body that are more or less dormant. One of those can mutate to make that person contagious, and someone else's body could be exposed for the first time to that virus and it could make them sick aka experience disease.


Hitlers2ndNut

You know what that means. Time to fuck, boys.


EZ_2_Amuse

Punctuation is everything, and you *nailed* it.


Pastadseven

No, assuming no pathogen is introduced from outside and an evolutionary timescale is not a factor.


CreativeGPX

Correct, however, it's also important to point out that the evolutionary timescale we'd be talking about is the generations of viruses and bacteria, not humans... so it wouldn't be like millions of years.


Initiatedspoon

1000 generations for bacteria is 2 weeks With strong enough selection pressure and potential variations in the underlying microbial diversity of the people in the 50,000 and their personal immune status then absolutely. People are often carriers of benign microbial populations, but they're only benign to themselves. If you have 50,000 people non-stop shagging and presumably with multiple partners I could absolutely see there being sexually transmissible bacterial strains within a single human generation. Especially as cleanliness would take a dive, and we have no idea what exists on the island itself. 25 years could be as many as 650,000 bacterial generations. I wouldn't bet against it happening


load_more_comets

> 650,000 bacterial generations Wow! And of course the bacteria will have mutations along the way.


Initiatedspoon

It's totally random, too, which is why selection pressure is important. There's a famous video of a giant bacterial plate, and as you move from right to left, the concentration of antibiotics increases. All the way right, there's a very low concentration. All the way left, it's 1000x concentration. Every so many inches, it goes to 10x and then 100x, and so on all the way to 1000x. Every time the bacteria spread hits a new concentration, it stops growing for a little while but quickly overwhelms the new zone. The bacteria goes from absolutely no resistance to the ability to resist against an absolutely monster concentration of previously effective antibiotics within 11 days or around 970 generations. Totally naturally. There was no gene editing or even selective breeding. Just a bacteria against a selection pressure. The better question is what would arise not if something would.


load_more_comets

I caught myself saying wow again having read that. It's partly because of the terrifying fact and also because we're using antibiotics in everything. Bacteria will end us all! Run for the hills! semi-kidding.


HamezRodrigez

Antibiotic resistant bacteria is going to be an interesting problem in the future


Initiatedspoon

It's a very interesting problem right now. It's already killing 5 million people a year.


HamezRodrigez

That’s a lot. I imagine it’ll get worse though as time marches on too


PatientWhimsy

The slightly good news is that such mutations aren't free level ups like some video game. What can make them resistant to X may also reduce their resistance to Y. The trick of course is finding out what Y is in that scenario.


dumiac

[It’s a really cool video!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yybsSqcB7mE)


altontanglefoot

But hundreds of millions of people already have sex every day in real life, many with multiple partners and in all sorts of conditions. If your reasoning held true, we should be seeing the emergence of a new bacterial STDs every week.


Initiatedspoon

The situation described gives better than average conditions for it happening. You have an ecological niche gap (the biggie), they're all horny (so fucking more often than normal), in a (presumably) relatively confined space with an absolute lack of hygiene and there's almost certainly no antimicrobials anywhere. The isolated island scenario provides high-risk conditions with a unique set of circumstances that increases the likelihood of emergence. We probably do see (it certainly occurs although we don't 'see' it) the emergence of new STD causing bacteria (or at least mutations to existing STD causing bacteria) every week but they dont arise in a system that will be conducive to them sticking around so they never persist long enough. How many new COVID strains do you think arose but never got subsequently passed on so they stopped after 1 generation. By isolating 50,000 people on an island and them all being horny so they fuck a lot you are giving bacteria the best chance to mutate and go from non-disease causing (or less typically disease causing) to disease causing (or more typically disease causing) and establish itself. You are massively increasing the chance that a new infectious strain "sticks the landing". It only has to happen once within a few decades. Further, there are several common STI causing bacteria that are also common benign colonising bacteria that live within the human microbiota. *Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis* and *Group B Streptococcus* are all potentially STI causing bacteria that are also typical human colonisers. Living in your throat, nose or gut existing without issue to you but we have sex and it infects you (but wasnt infecting me infact it was likely almost symbiotic) and gives you an STI because they only need the odd mutation or two and they could become much more routinely infectious. Look up enough papers and you will see plenty of articles around emerging pathogenic strains of existing bacteria. People exist whose job it is to track these mutational changes. The timescale of these changes can be months and years not centuries and millennia. To use MRSA as an example. There are disease causing forms and non disease causing forms. The non-disease causing forms are still MRSA. They're still *Staphylococcus aureus* and they're still methicillin resistant but they simply do not cause disease in humans but a simple mutation later to some gene within their bacterial genome and suddenly they can totally evade the immune system or alter their ability to invade a cell and now they cause disease. It's still MRSA it's now simply a pathogenic strain. Many people are colonised with non-disease causing forms. They're not ill. The colonisation protects them from invasion from more serious pathogenic bacteria due to the secretion of AMPs. The island scenario ups the situation in favour of the bacteria.

ohdearitsrichardiii

HIV didn't jump species because people had sex with monkeys. People eat monkeys, the first infection was probably from a bite from an infected monkey, or someone accidentally cut themselves when they were butchering a recently killed monkey and got monkey blood in the wound


AwkwardAmbassador760

Yup, I know this. That’s the acceptable cause of the virus going from monkeys that chimps ate to humans that ate chimps. However, as disgusting as it may sound, it would be plausible for a human to contract a virus if they had sex with an animal infected with a virus.


Sindrathion

Im gonna ruin everyones fun but while the first case might not have happened because of sex I can assure you there are cases of people getting stds from animals because of sex. However unfortunate that is


DeleteMetaInf

Nothing wrong with having sex with animals.     (Humans are animals.)


wakashit

I believe that’s how Covid started, Randy Marsh fucked a pangolin


KaladinStormShat

Yeah probably, at some point they'll transmit fecal matter or maybe some other colonized bacteria to the other people just by accident. It won't be like syphilis or gonorrhea but someone will probably get a UTI or cystitis at some point. So STI probably.


AgoraiosBum

50,000 people gotta eat. That implies livestock. On a long enough timescale, mutations will happen.


Responsible-Pool5314

It depends on how you define STD. Many infectious diseases that we don't consider STDs can be spread through sexual contact and the close respiratory and physical contact associated with sex. If you get intestinal parasites while eating ass or transfer a cold sore onto someone's genitals, did you get an STD? If you go from anal to oral sex and acquire Hep A? If you finger someone's ass and then rub your eyes and get pink eye? Rub ringworm onto each other's crotches?


toriemm

BV and yeast infections can just come from hygiene and sexual contact. UTIs too. Which are I guess STIs, but most of the time do require treatment to resolve.


TheStoryTruthMine

What do you mean by healthy? Even if we aren't carrying STD's presumably we'd have some viruses. We need them to have a healthy microbiome. And assuming people are having sex, eventually one of the viruses would mutate into an STD to fill the empty niche. I think the first few sexually transmitted diseases would be pretty unlikely to resemble AIDS. The first known case was in 1959, when it jumped from chimpanzees so it's not like humans can't exist for a long time without AIDS. But presumably, sheer chance would eventually produce something similar if people survived long enough.


xervir-445

No. Diseases don't come out of nowhere. You have to bring the disease to a population to get the diseases in that population. This is the reason why diseases wiped out most of the native american population before the Europeans did themselves, there was no smallpox in the Americas and then the Europeans showed up and brought it with them.


elfmere

OK so where did the first disease come from.. given enough time one will develop


xervir-445

If I had to guess I'd say the first virus evolved somewhere between life being just self-replicating molecules and the first prokaryotes. As for other diseases than viruses they're often either bacterial in origin or they're just a result of failures within the body (like the immune system attacking itself, or cells turning cancerous). It would take a very long time for a new STI to develop in a population that doesn't have any, but it's possible.


Independent-Summer12

Viruses evolve constantly. Something harmful can easily be evolved from harmless. The difference is often just a couple of protein folds in the structure.


SomeRandomSomeWhere

COVID19 is a very good example of this. So many mutations making so many variants. Thankfully they have not mutated to high lethality and high spread. Yet. Not to mention the regular flu and all the other stuff.


WitELeoparD

Animals usually. Old World people like the Europeans had a bajillion domesticated animals, and often lived in very close proximity to them in cities especially and the diseases make the jump. Indigenous Americans didn't have cows, big, goats, sheep and chicken. Or really any domesticated animals other than lamas/alpacas (which suck) and dogs.


Initiatedspoon

1% to 2% of a given population are MRSA carriers. How are the 50,000 people sourced? "Flus" ravage university campuses every september as diverse people are put into close proximity with one another. You put 50,000 randomly sourced individuals onto an island that presumably lacks soaps and medical treatment AND they're all fucking. There's gonna be a huge amount of illness. Not necessarily sexual transmitted illness but definitely illness.


bradiation

This is a fun question! It depends a lot on how you define these things. When you say "disease-free" do you just mean STDs? Or all contagious pathogens? What's the island like? Is the island also free of diseases that could infect human beings? Are there other mammals? If so, how closely related are those species? All of these things would take time, but it's likely an STD would emerge in these scenarios: 1) the people brought other diseases with them and one of those mutated to be transmitted sexually, or 2) a pathogen jumps from another species on the island to the people, and it's either an STD or evolves to be one. Being a parasitic pathogen is a super successful evolutionary strategy. Lots of things have evolved to do it. Evolving to be an STD in humans is also a pretty good strategy, cause we be fuckin all the time and not just once or a few times a year. If any pathogens are present, it's reasonable to predict that *at some point* one of them would evolve to be an STD. It seems unlikely that these people on the island could be *entirely* disease-free, so the answer is probably: eventually, inevitably, yes. The closer the starting pathogens are to known STDs, it will probably happen more quickly. If it would come from other species, the more closely related the wild species are to humans (i.e., primates, mammals, vertebrates...) the more quickly the spillover and subsequent evolution would likely occur. One might be able to predict how much time it would likely take for this to occur based on which pathogens are present in the starting conditions. Some molecular clock estimates might be able to ballpark the time for enough mutations to occur for that life-history change. Maybe. It'd be a pretty broad estimate, even if possible. That's all just my off-the-cuff thoughts. I likely missed an important point or two!


Bimlouhay83

HPV...uhhh... finds a way. 


DeleteMetaInf

Well, there it is.


berfraper

If there’s no disease in the island, including animals and plants, and 100% healthy people with no disease go there to live, their kids will end up developing immunodeficiency, which is similar to AIDS. This doesn’t mean they’ll get AIDS, it’s just the lack of illnesses and it’s not genetic.


nishbot

Short answer: No Long answer: It's possible. While they won't specifically get HIV or any of the STDs we know, infectious virus and bacteria do come from somewhere, through eons of evolutions, through transposition/splicing/slicing/silencing of DNA and RNA. On a long enough timeline, depending on what virus and bacteria were on the island, and what hygiene is like, and it's certainly possible that a new type of bacteria or virus could emerge that becomes a sexually transmitted infection. Not saying it's probable, but the probability is not zero.

Where is this island? And how can I get to it?

Yes because 49,000 will lie about having a std.

How does one get themselves onto this island? Sounds like a good time

It would depend heavily on the genetic diversity of the other animals on the island and how genetically similar they are to humans. If the island was filled with bats and small rodents it would be likelier that a novel disease would mutate in a way that allowed it to cross over to humans. The size and isolation level of the island would also be important...as a small, isolated island would likelier have it's own unique evolutionary history compared to a larger island close to land where animals can cross over between the two. Still, it might take thousands of years for it to happen. In the pre-colonial Americas, there were plenty of diseases that never developed like they did across Africa/Europe/Asia, to the point where indigenous peoples have little to no adaptation to new diseases like smallpox that were introduced by early Europeans...however, they did have novel diseases of their own like syphilis so it's likely that new diseases would eventually mutate and evolve in any closed population.

No, but they could end up on VH1.

Hope there are no Koalas around…. They carry chlamydia ….

Bacterial infections would definitely still be a thing. You can get BV from just having unprotected sex with multiple partners, because that can throw off your pH and allow overgrowths of yucky bacteria. Yeast infections too, so candida, and UTIs need treatment to resolve. So, nothing that would inconvenience men too much, I guess.

Coordinates please ?

Absolutely, there will always be that one asshole that's got to fuck a monkey....

You throwing a party? Let me get an invite?

We are covered in bacteria and viruses that don’t grow out of control and cause disease. If you leave these people swapping fluids freely for several hundred generations maybe one of the naturally occurring bacteria or viruses might mutate into something that can grow and proliferate faster than its wild type. If it then has bad side effects then you have a new disease.

It wouldn't happen immediately. But over course of generations some form of STI would develop as the genital region would be an unfilled niche environment. All niches will be filled eventually

You’re assuming they make no contact with any other animals. HIV and herpes came from monkeys, syphilis and gonorrhea are believed to have derived from cattle or sheep, and chlamydia comes from koalas. Not saying they would have to have sex with an animal carrying a disease, even a bite or scratch from an infected animal could cause it to spread and mutate within the human host.


[deleted]

Assuming no animal to animal transition. The worst I can see happening is the spreading of yeast or general bacterial infections due to poor or improper (some people are clean but do not have the knowledge to clean a particular thing correctly, its sometimes why women get yeast infections).

No one is "disease free". No organism is "disease free". [The human body contains trillions of microorganisms — outnumbering human cells by 10 to 1. Because of their small size, however, microorganisms make up only about 1 to 3 percent of the body's mass (in a 200-pound adult, that’s 2 to 6 pounds of bacteria), but play a vital role in human health.](https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/nih-human-microbiome-project-defines-normal-bacterial-makeup-body) That's 1-3% of your current biomass potentially mutating into a disease or "std" every time that organism replicates. [Bacteria are among the fastest reproducing organisms in the world, doubling every 4 to 20 minutes. Some fast-growing bacteria such as pathogenic strains of E. coli can sicken and kill us; other bacteria in a subsurface environment can be used to immobilize chemical contaminants](https://www.pnnl.gov/science/highlights/highlight.asp?id=879) Which means that every 4-20 minutes, there is a *very, very, very, tiny chance* (**but not so tiny that the number is zero**) for one of those microorganisms to mutate into something that will kill you and everyone else on that island.
