"Experts in France..." LIE! It was only 1 frenchmen. Another "Blame the Romans" article. Some are even titled "ROMANS SPREAD AIDS." First, this inaccurate hypothesis was done by a Frenchmen. "He says it’s possible...", "This finding isn’t definitive..." In other words this is just one Frenchmen's biased opinion and since everyone hates Italians they spread this like wild fire. Jealously is my guess. Here is something to think about, This DNA strain CCR5 -Delta 32 is a MUTATION, and it has DNA elements missing! No wonder they died off duuhhhhh. However 15% of Northern Europeans have this mutation, and I wonder how strong they are biologically speaking? And the part of this that makes me slam my head against the wall is the second from the last paragraph. Look at how they end it: "The conquerors also introduced domesticated animals like cats and donkeys across their territory, and those animals can spread disease to humans." SO NOW THEY ARE BLAMING CATS?????? Frenchie get a real job because this is more hate than science. Hey maybe he's mad because the Italians beat France in the World Cup hehe.
