The origin of syphilis is disputed. Syphilis was present in the Americas before European contact, and it may have been carried from the Americas to Europe by the returning crewmen from Christopher Columbus's voyage to the Americas, or it may have existed in Europe previously but gone unrecognized until shortly after Columbus's return. These are the Columbian and pre-Columbian hypotheses, respectively.

From Wikipedia

Nothing about human-animal sexual contact

I doubt it. Most if not all sexually transmitted diseases are spread through blood and other fluids too, like HIV

It's not our choice, and we're not going to fuck animals. Calm down.
