Great. Capitalism literally makes you stupid.
Fun fact re the parasitic lice: Our head lice evolved with us, but we inherited pubic lice from gorillas much later.
I'm not saying a human and a gorilla got down together, but that's a lot more fun than thinking some idiot slept in a gorilla nest.
Wheeled carts are not very practical without draught animals to pull them. And the one place they had animals like that, in South America, llamas and the civilizations that utilized them lived in the mountains where wheeled carts aren't practical either.
