    Our non-human ancestors had STIs. Animals have STIs. Insects have STIs. You can pick up chlamydia from animals like horses and birds (just by handling them, not by having sex with them). Syphilis evolved in sheep and made the jump to humans. HIV is a mutation of a monkey disease, simian immunodeficiency virus, that jumped to humans when hunters hunting monkeys for meat (yes, that's a thing people do) came in contact with the blood of infected monkeys. syphilis is from sheep Native Americans didn't own or Farm Sheep. That would be in the middle East or India.)
