Pubic lice and Gorillas


It appears that early man got more than meat from hunting gorillas. In an article from the Journal of Biology, Robin Weiss discusses the origin of the human pubic louse Pthirus pubis, actually came from Gorillas. Sequence comparisons between Pthirus pubis and the gorilla louse Pthirus gorillae, reveal that the two species split from each other 3.3 million years ago, at least 4 million years after the human-gorilla split from their most recent common ancestor. Obviously this could make for an awkward conversation with the respective humans other half, but not to worry as Weiss hypothesis’ that early man would of picked up the louse whilst butchering gorilla meat in a similar fashion to how the whale louse will crawl onto your hand when you touch a colonized whale.

I'm from the UK and I was once a Vaginal Cancer patient and pubic Lice.
Until one day I watched Dr Itua Herbal Remedy on TV Channel on how he uses Herbal medicines to cure all kinds of disease, I was very inst rested on his herbal remedy because I was very sick at that moment and I was diagnosed with Brain Tumor and Vaginal Cancer. I took the risk to take his treatment after watching his documentary.
I contacted him on Email and explained my situation to him, he kindly told me how it works and also how I can purchase his herbal product.
A week later the herbal medicines were shipped to me through courier service, I drank his herbal medicines for three weeks and I was healed, cured from Brain Tumor/Vaginal Cancer.
