I believe the Green Monkey was a source of AIDS.
Are they in parts of Africa as well ?
May be, but it was a bunch of do-gooders that spread HIV. A bunch of then went through isolated areas giving inoculations and/or other shots, and reused the needles, carrying the virus to other villages, much less remote.
Wasn’t it a Simiam ImmunoVirus that species jumped? Remember SARS? I can’t imagine much good comes from eating random wild animals.
