Dear Mr Perrotta:
As a Wise Man once said, "You are Confused"
Please Read this Carefully before responding. Your knowledge of genetics,
and of biology in general, is currently less extensive and less accurate
than you believe it to be.
While I suppose that it is Just Barely Possible to imagine a genetic disorder
having its origin in a animal-to-human transmitted retro-virus which affected
the human germplasm, thus creating a heritable mutation, it is Highly Unlikely.
There are many stories, going back to Ancient Legend, of various diseases
having their origin in human/animal sex. The most common of these is the
notion that syphilis was introduced into human circulation by a Shepherd
named Syphilis having sex with sheep. [Whether this is true is irrelevant,
and is left as an exercise to any interested epidemiologist.]
Since there are some diseases that humans can catch from animals, it is
certainly possible that sexual contact could introduce or spread an
infectious disease. Repeat: An Infectious Disease (what you refer to as
"a catchable disease") i.e. disease caused by living organisms (virus,
bacteria, fungus, parasite).
This is quite different from getting a Heritable Mutation from screwing a
sheep. There is No Evidence of a "documented origin" of anything like what
you are suggesting. There really isn't. [Mr. P: If you have a book or
pamphlet that suggests otherwise, then you should check the "Also By This
Author" page in the front of said book or pamphlet, and you will probably
find that it lists publications espousing "theories" concerning the
Hollow Earth, the Vril, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, Identity
Christianity, LaMarckian evolution, and the Magic "300 miles-per-gallon
Carburetor" that the Oil Cartel has been hiding since 1934.]
To get even more completely away from the topic of sex with animals,
you will certainly have no interest in knowing, but both of the other
readers of this group may be fascinated to know that the origin of
Tay-Sacks has actually been uncovered. It is (actually, there are two
or three different genetic flaws with the same expressed symptoms) the
result adaptive selection, like sickle-cell. In this case, having a
single gene for T-S confers some resistance to Tuberculosis, I think it
is. Several centuries of close-packed life in the ghettos of Eastern
Europe, where TB is a dangerous scourge, selected for the two or three
mutations that can appear as T-S.
Sorry, Mr. P., there was no sheep-screwing involved in this one.
I could, however grant you the possibility that a small, genetically
isolated population of rampant sheep-fuckers could, in a very short time
(perhaps even less than 500 years!) almost completely eliminate from their
gene-pool any genetically-based wool allergies or lanolin sensitivity.
This would obviously depend on cultural factors as well. Does that make you
any happier?
