Tuberculosis is actually made of long thin nailless thumbs it is working on evolving a body to attach to.
2 :
we do have opposable thumbs ....dum dum.
3 :
I think we both need more drugs to resolve this.
4 :
It was not evolutionarily beneficial for tuberculosis to make tools or eat bananas. We could do that for them.
5 :
Why would bacteria need thumbs. They wouldn't use them. They do perfectly fine without them. (though, i think lethal bacteria are stupid, they should just not harm the host body, like tapeworm, they are better for everyone, except the host, though they do lose weight.)
6 :
Because it's the watermelon that shares 90% if it's DNA with us. It's got seeds for opposable thumbs. Imagine having babies through YOUR opposable thumbs, man! See, tuberculosis saw this as a potential problem, and decided to steer clear of the opposable thumbs. Using a complex scientific formula, they figured that if they were to evolve opposable thumbs, those thumbs would be their kneecaps, and that would make it pretty hard for them to hitch a ride on the Host Express
