Reply to comment by daisy0723 in TIL scientists believe people started wearing clothes between 83k and 170k years ago because that's when clothing lice diverged from head lice. by cwood1973

Yeah, and they discovered that pubic lice in humans did not descend from human head lice. They descended from gorilla lice... which raises a whole different set of questions.

She's a bit hairy, but she's still the gorilla of my dreams.

Silly question, but wouldn’t gorilla’s be far to dangerous and unpredictable to try to breed with?

I hate that I know this but I think I remember a national geographic article about a "brothel" which included an adolescent, shaved female orangatang somewhere. I feel gross just typing that out

Whoa, like a modern brothel? Yikes imagine the waiver you have sign to go in there.

My sad understanding from watching the documentary was that she was trained to just get in position and take it if a male approached her :(. That probably means she was beaten a lot to get to that point or taken at a young age.

Every time I start to have faith in humanity again I hear a story like this. I'm glad she's recovering. I hope the men that put her through that get castrated and fed to the lions.

I dunno really. I don't want to know. I think it was probably in a slum somewhere that orangatangs are found in the wild. There was probably no waiver, you just pay your cash and you takes your ugh chances

They probably donate to their local charities right after
