Sex with Gorillas - Idea Affects Scientific Analysis

It has been scientifically proven that pubic lice were transferred between early humans and gorillas about 3.3 million years ago.

Pubic.

Pubic.

However, those discovering scientists:
"claim it is far more likely that early humans caught the lice from sleeping in abandoned gorilla nests than from having sex with gorillas."

...According to Reed, this suggests that early humans and gorillas made close contact, though he “seriously doubts” that pubic lice transferred between the two during sex.

...Pubic lice can live for up to 24 hours once removed from their host. But he acknowledges: “I don’t know if we’ll ever be able to know for certain which hypothesis is correct.”
So, given that gorilla sex is abhorrent to the scientists, despite that 24hr survival time, they have decided that humans snuck into "abandoned gorilla nests" less than 24 hours after they were abandoned.

This is right up there with "every statue is a god or goddess".

If any humans did have sex with gorillas, it most likely was between a male gorilla and a female human and wasn't exactly consensual...Also, 3.3 million years ago,"WE" weren't exactly "HUMAN" either...the term "HOMINID" does come to mind...If this did take place, most likely neither of the participants thought anything unusual about it...They most likely looked so much alike, they might not even have realized the difference...
To my knowledge there is no evidence we were even qualifying as human at that point, no tools, shelters, blenders or video games...
MERRY WHICHEVERONEYOUDO, and HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!
