  The wikipedia article on MCAS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maneuvering_Characteristics_Augmentation_System https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maneuvering_Characteristics_Au... "The Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) flight control law was implemented on the 737 MAX ... make the 737 MAX perform similarly to its immediate predecessor, the 737NG". Noting that the 737-800 is the long variant of the 737NG. In other words, the MCAS wikipedia article states that MCAS was introduced on the 737-MAX so it would handle more like the 737-800. Which cements the conclusion that the 737-800 does not have MCAS.
