What exactly is it you think our ancestors were doing to successfully avoid disease?
- decremental 4y agoNot be on Tinder.
- AlotOfReading 4y agoGonorrhea was named by a Roman physician called Galen some 1800 years ago. I'm fairly certain his patients weren't using Tinder.
- SoftTalker 4y agoWell, they developed an elaborate system of morals that stigmatizes promiscuity. Whether it was "successful" is debatable, given that the diseases all still exist, but no denying it works at the individual level, if practiced unfailingly.
- toomanyrichies 4y agoI’d wager that promiscuity is much older than gonorrhea, not to mention any particular system of morals. That’s probably why natural selection… well, selects for it.
