Study Finds AIDS Virus Is a Century Old
A Genetic Analysis of Two Old Strains Pushed Back the Estimated Origin of HIV to 1908

This can't be true because the CIA wasn't formed until 40 years later, and it was in the eighties that the CIA tried to wipe out the black race with AIDS perfected in their super-secret labs. Perhaps it was the KKK.

Genetic analysis pushes the estimated origin of HIV back to between 1884 and 1924, with a more focused estimate at 1908.

This study was conducted by the same type scientists that predict doom from the GWH. Ain't it amazing what them there computers can do?

The new work used genetic data from the two old HIV samples plus more than 100 modern samples to create a family tree going back to these samples' last common ancestor. Researchers got various answers under various approaches for when that ancestor virus appeared, but the 1884-to-1924 bracket is probably the most reliable, Worobey said.

Fauci described the advance as "a fine-tuning."

Well, that is not as good as the GWH timetable, but what the hey, this is science at its best.
