How HIV spread
The Washington Post has an article today (excerpted from a book) about the origins of HIV. Here's a link. The authors lay blame, ultimately, on the colonial exploitation of Africa around the turn of the 20th century.

At least any other means of transfer is to gross to contemplateWe have a good idea of how: A hunter caught an infected chimpanzee for food, allowing the virus to pass from the chimp’s blood into the hunter’s body, probably through a cut during butchering.

the difference between evidence and sources: whether they come from the horse's mouth or a horse's ass.

the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

Either way, some chimps are very attractive. Just look at Fabio.Prebe wrote:I never really got far enough past the Human/chimp imagery to start assigning gender to the participants, no.Vraith wrote:I don't see where he says it had to be same sex butcher, and chimp

Uh-huh! 
I guess you're right, tho. The chimp and the butcher wouldn't have to be the same gender. My mistake.
