Reply to comment by bloodmonarch in TIL scientists believe people started wearing clothes between 83k and 170k years ago because that's when clothing lice diverged from head lice. by cwood1973

Did/does lice not exist for animals ? Genuine question, I've never thought to ask. I know fleas etc. My point being we would have been wearing animal skin/fur and it seems natural for the lice to migrate to us.

Also, fuck bedbugs dude I'd rather have mosquitos, had one experience and I'm still traumatized I will sleep outside fuck those things

I think I recall every animal species having its own species of mite, sometimes multiple, not too sure about lice but I wouldn't be surprised.

There are lice that have their own lice and fleas that have their own fleas.

You're correct.
