What a thing to be known-for, huh?

Meet the hominin species that gave us genital herpes

Two herpes simplex viruses infect primates from unknown evolutionary depths. In modern humans these viruses manifest as cold sores (HSV1) and genital herpes (HSV2).

Unlike HSV1, however, the earliest proto-humans did not take HSV2 with them when our ancient lineage split from chimpanzee precursors around 7 million years ago. Humanity dodged the genital herpes bullet - almost.

Somewhere between 3 and 1.4 million years ago, HSV2 jumped the species barrier from African apes back into human ancestors - probably through an intermediate hominin species unrelated to humans. Hominin is the zoological 'tribe' to which our species belongs.

Now, a team of scientists from Cambridge and Oxford Brookes universities believe they may have identified the culprit: Parathropus boisei, a heavyset bipedal hominin with a smallish brain and dish-like face.

What a bunch of Darwinian .. crap!

[kbot]

Yes, Darwin's Theory is, after all, a THEORY, yet our society places so much emphasis on it to the exclusion of everything else, because. Heaven forbid(!!!!!!!!!!!) what if the non-Science perspective is correct after all.........

Darwin just makes everything so much nicer, cleaner and les burdensome. Just the way the Left likes things.
