Re: Human/sheep chimera created
Hey, this belongs in the evolution thread.
Re: Human/sheep chimera created
Which thread is that? Some of these threads are so long they are starting to resemble War and Peace.
Re: Human/sheep chimera created
Or maybe this belongs under the abortion thread, where we were debating what makes something human for purposes of individual rights.

Who knows. I think the usual suspects will find it wherever you post it.

I guess so since the topic of intelligent design has been brought up in that thread. After all, that's what we're looking at instead of evolution.

I will give you that, but it does demonstrate that radical genetic change can occur within a species without comprimising the species ability to survive. Obviously this doesn't show a driving force for evolution, but how adapatable genetic code is.

Oh, I totally agree. It's really brilliant isn't it? I mean, if I'm going to design many different objects, how smart is it that I design them so that some parts can be interchangeable from one to the next? Even you should enjoy how logical that is.:D

Since they originated from common ancestors, it should not be very surprising that the parts can be interchanged without much of a problem. :icon_wink:

Wow, I didn't realize that there was anything in the fossil record that show transitional creatures that could be described as part human and sheep.
