Got to blame it on a white dude.
Exactly. This book sounds like another left wing revisionist “narrative” to make whitey the culprit. How the hell does this guy know who was the first to be infected with the precursor to AIDS? I would think most European soldiers would be loathe to eat a monkey if other game was about and there was far more game in 1921 than today to hunt. Realistically, given the sheer numbers and proximity, it’s most likely a native African who got the bug first. “Bush meat”, including monkey meat, isn’t the turn off to their cultures as it is to ours.
