Human ancestors caught herpes from CHIMPS

Human ancestors caught herpes from CHIMPS: Virus strains spread across species up to 6 million years ago

University of California San Diego scientists studied the cross-species transmission, from chimps to hominids and Homo erectus, using models of molecular evolution.

Interesting.

I think I am starting to figure out why human society originally sought to control sexual activity. Herpes from chimps? And of course the whole problem of maintaining a cohesive culture. BUT HERPES FROM CHIMPS?

There was no Apricity back then for those awkward few... Goats had not been domesticated yet... I suppose they had nothing left.

Perhaps we should congratulate them in their self-restraint in not raping other humans, but then how did the herpes begin to spread, hmm? Eew,
