Quotes by Kyle Harper (?)

“And the connections we have progressively built between human societies not only link old germ pools, but more profoundly they have turned separate groups into a metapopulation for roving killers to explore. The main drama of disease history has been the constant emergence of untried germs from wild hosts, finding human groups linked in ever-larger pacts of mutually assured infection.”
― Kyle Harper, The Fate of Rome: Climate, Disease, and the End of an Empire

“Wine, like sex, was an immanent divine force, and the wash of its warm ecstasy was experienced as a communion with Dionysus. It is hard for us to appreciate the invisible but ubiquitous effects of wine in the Roman Empire.”
― Kyle Harper, From Shame to Sin: The Christian Transformation of Sexual Morality in Late Antiquity

“Germs have a selfish interest in their natural host’s survival, but in spillover species, that selfish restraint is missing.”
― Kyle Harper, Plagues upon the Earth: Disease and the Course of Human History
