So I Googled prosopagnosia. I only read the first paragraph from
wiki. It says it can affect 2.5% of the population. I have never

probably met many people with the condition.
When you first said it, it seemed like it would be a pretty seriously
debilitating, but after thinking about it probably not so much.
I would guess you also have close friends and co workers that you can
distinguish their faces?

Notable cases
Steve Wozniak, Co-Founder of Apple[39] My geek hero
Jane Goodall
She was known to have named some of her favorite chimpanzees. If you
can't tell people apart, would you be more or less likely to be able
to tell chimpanzees apart?
