Actually, I thought it was kind of interesting. Every once in a while, something good does come out of Gainesville.

Perhaps the researchers in Florida have none. They may not know what nitpicking means.

Because they are so well adapted to clothing, we know that body lice or clothing lice almost certainly didnt exist until clothing came about in humans. "Spontaneous Generation"?

Yes, just as when humans invented nylon, a bacteria that digests nylon “magically appeared”, i.e. it evolved from bacteria that previously were not able to digest nylon.

Speciation from head liceSo can they now determine how far back was it when humans developed heads? Not brains mind you, that's still "evolving". Slowly.

Can you imagine how many times bell-bottoms have come in and out of style in 170,000 years?

You might say they dice the lice to find genes for jeans? Or an overhaul of the overall theory? Or perhaps skirting the issue of how the cavemen were kilt?
