18 May 06 - 06:16 AM (#1742964) Subject: RE: BS: DNA Study- From: autolycus The story reminds me of the gag about two blokes in a Hungarian chess cafe discussing history. One says,"A recent study has shown that the Earth is 30 million years old."(An old joke, you see.) A chess player whips round and asks,"Whay did you say?". "Apparently the Earth is 30 million years old." "Thank goodness,"says the chess man,"For a moment I thought you said '35 million!". Ivor |

19 May 06 - 11:51 AM (#1743949) Subject: RE: BS: DNA Study- From: John Hardly Seems that what's really ground-breaking is not yet another study that shows similarity between species. Heck, we've known that. What seems groundbreaking is that in a closed laboratory setting they can now actually cause the change from one species DNA to another species DNA to occur with a stop watch on the event. So now we can know definitively how long man has been on earth -- and if we can know that now with this new certainty, we're only a short way away from mapping all the genes, causing the same change to occur between each organism, time that, and we should be able to determine the exact age of biology. Then we can double-check that against the geological record and know without any lingering doubt how everything happened. |

25 May 06 - 04:41 AM (#1747129) Subject: RE: BS: DNA Study- From: JohnInKansas This thread may have worn itself out, but a search for an urban legend about an enormous grizzly, on behalf of a gullible friend, did confirm the enormous lie but not the grizzly. It also turned up an instance of "genetically isolated critters" breeding back together, which was one of the key points of the originally cited article here. The grolar bear, or maybe it's a pizzly bear, is proof positive that interspecies breeding is not limited strictly to sheep country (although it was found in Canada) ... John |

25 May 06 - 11:29 AM (#1747331) Subject: RE: BS: DNA Study- From: GUEST,Mrr Actually, we diverged from the common ancestor of chimps and bonobos, not from the chimpanzees of today; it's just as true to say we diverged from bonobos as it is to say it's from chimpanzees. I rather like the bonobos... wonder if bipedalism evolved after the frontwards sex? |

25 May 06 - 11:44 AM (#1747339) Subject: RE: BS: DNA Study- From: Paul Burke I think bisexualism evolved after the backpedalling. Anyway I thought bonobo was French for sweetie. |
