Toxoplasmosa Gondii is a parasite that infects a large percentage of humans, but it is basically harmless outside of immune-weakened people. The only animal the parasite can reproduce in is the cat - the parasite will cause rats infected with it to become far bolder and more risk taking when there are cats around [so the cat can prey on the rat and become infected].
There is speculation that TG+ humans are also bigger risk-takers - so leaders, entrepreneurs etc are more likely to have the parasite in their brains.

the equatorial circumference (ie 0 degrees latitude) of Earth is about 24,900 miles(40,070 km). However, from pole-to-pole — the meridional circumference — Earth is only 24,812 miles(39,931 km) around. This shape, caused by the flattening at the poles, is called an oblate spheroid.
