Through genetic research on the mitochondrial genome of the chimpanzee louse, researchers found that a single mini-chromosome had fragmented into three sections in the lineage of ectoparasites, which includes head lice, body lice, and pubic lice about 3.3 million years ago (Herd, Barker, Shao, 2015).

This could be due to the lack of archaeological records and attitudes towards pubic lice during this time period. Although there has been evidence of crab louse fossils in archaeological deposits, their findings have been significantly rare compared to…

So the priest “sends a letter to the bishop, who sends a letter to his primate, so that a letter would be sent to the Supreme Pontiff to get a decision from the highest possible court” (Marquez 1376-1377). The actions of many…
