The human papillomavirus (HPV) is believed to have originated from ancient viral ancestors that likely existed in primates. Over time, HPV evolved and adapted to infect humans, with evidence suggesting that it has been present for thousands of years. The virus is highly diverse, with over 200 types identified, some of which are associated with various cancers and others with benign conditions. Its transmission occurs primarily through direct skin-to-skin contact, particularly during sexual activity.
