Nobody knows. I seriously doubt we'll ever know. One of the NIH pages suggested it may have passed from apes to humans several times, possibly as early as 100 years ago. But they don't have a clue *how* it passed. It could have been using the animal for food, using the animal to develop vaccines (a polio vaccine was suspect for a time), or yes, even some twit screwing one.
