The Zika Virus

[Dryson]

I was reading how the Zika Virus causes small brains to be present in those infected with Zika. I have also read about how early humans had small brains. I wonder if a virus similar to Zika was present during early human evolution that caused humans brains to be smaller that once the Zika Virus had been eradicated that the human brain developed normally.

Sounds like a 12 Monkeys plot.

"Gooba-gobble, gooba-gobble" the mosquito says "We will make you one of us."

In all honesty, have you considered seeking professional help?

In all honesty, do you not realize that implying a fellow poster needs "professional help" is an insult that a mod will see as flaming?

You have been here long enough to know that it's okay to attack a post but never a poster personally. I haven't seen you cause issues in this forum before so I won't issue an infraction just yet.
But... my claws are out.

Comments to PM.

Maybe you could expand on this some more. I don't understand what you are saying.

Paging Dr. Lamarck ....

Just give the virus a chance to run its course, your brain will get bigger again, and then you'll understand.

No worries. I have been drinking plenty of electrolytes so I should be better in no time.

Is this a troll thread? WTF am I seeing?

The OP is serious as far as we can tell. The rest of us ... not so much.

So you're basically admitting to trolling the OP. Excuse me while I close this thread and consider handing out infractions to everyone involved, including you.
