The strain could have developed in parallel, or we could have the causation chain backwards, or it could be random coincidence - there's a lot of options other than comingling with gorillas.
Oh I know that...it just seems odd to bring that into the article to begin with really. I would be more apt to buy into the bush meat thing than people having sex with wild animals. I don't know how it goes about furthering racist or prejudiced tendancies by mentioning it though. If people are actually having sex with the animals, that is just plain bizarre, and if that makes me prejudiced against those into beastiality I can live with that.

I'm more along the random coincidence belief on this one.
