A LEADING scientist has warned a new species of "humanzee," created from breeding apes with humans, could become a reality unless the government acts to stop scientists experimenting.

Consider that the "humanzee" would be the offspring of J. Random Chimp and a human being who would, in fact, fuck a female chimpanzee. I cannot see this as anything but a disaster for both species involved.

Oh well. Thankfully hybrids such as these usually turn out infertile. The mule is an usual example.

We (Homo Sapiens) share at least 98% of our DNA with chimpanzees (Pan Troglodytes), so it doesn't surprise me. But I'm surprised we haven't heard the Fundies going 'BAAAAAWWWWWWWW!' at this whole concept before now, because if it HAS been done, and the results of such experiments were shown to the world, then Creationism, and thus the whole basis of Christianity would be utterly destroyed. Because this would be irrevocable proof that Darwin was RIGHT all along.

You see, the 'Missing Link' isn't archaeological/paleontological, but GENETIC. The aforementioned 98% DNA link between Homo Sapiens & Pan Troglodytes is sufficient evidence of this.

One further nail in God's coffin. After all, to quote Friedrich Nietzsche:

'God is dead.'

>> No.6451  

>>6447
I agree for the most part, but damn if your post doesn't come off as that of an atheist who is insecure with his own position, so much so that he feels the need to proclaim it loud and clear for the "Fundies" to come and attack.

Also, last I had heard, the 98% claim had been retracted by the group who initially put it forward in favor of 95% due to our increased understanding of transposons and other previously-believed-to-be "junk DNA", i.e. there were a lot of novel human and simian genes that were previously labeled as "trash" instead of actual genes but are now recognized as such.

Finally, arguing percent-similarity can be a dangerous thing when you get into the real nitty-gritty portions of taxonomy. Sometimes two species will branch off from a common source (generating three species, let's say) and the one who branched off more recently in the timeline (i.e. "is more closely related" paleontologically) will have greater genetic deviance from the source than the other guy who branched off. That he branched off more recently is clear from fossil evidence but would be misread from a pure "genetic homology" approach.

Two people have been arrested after a Juneau County sheriff's deputy found one of them and her two children living in a home with the body of a 90-year-old woman decomposing on the bathroom toilet.

Lewis told the deputy that "God told her Alvina would come back to life if she prayed hard enough." Bushey told the deputy that "Lewis was obedient and served the Lord just as she should."

"A military judge has disqualified a Pentagon legal official from participating in the Guantanamo war crimes trial against a former driver for Osama bin Laden, saying he lacks independence."

"Defense lawyers say Hartmann rushed proceedings in hopes of speedy convictions and sought to improperly influence who was prosecuted, selecting cases based on their potential to sway public opinion of the process.

At an April 28 hearing on the issue, former chief prosecutor Air Force Col. Morris Davis testified that Hartmann had pushed for "sexy" cases that would capture attention."

"Tony Blair is giving advice to Prime Minister Gordon Brown and has told him how to win the next election, Cherie Blair has said.

Her disclosure is made in an interview with the Times newspaper to coincide with its serialisation of her autobiography, Speaking for Myself.

In one extract from the book, she reveals how her husband suffered a crisis of confidence over the Iraq war.

But she writes he decided to stay on as PM to fight for his domestic legacy."

"A Vietnamese man in Norway lost around 35,000 dollars after he was led to believe that mixing the cash with a special liquid would double its value, Norwegian media reported Saturday."

"The victim of the con, who was not identified, was reportedly told by the Frenchman to leave a mixture of real cash with blank bills to marinate in a special liquid overnight, and the next morning he would have double the amount of cash at his disposal.

But when he showed up the next morning to collect his prize, both the cash and the suspected con-artist, whose name was not revealed, had disappeared."

"Data from Columbia disk drives survived the shuttle accident"

""When we got it, it was two hunks of metal stuck together. We couldn't even tell it was a hard drive. It was burned and the edges were melted," said Edwards, an engineer at Kroll Ontrack Inc., outside Minneapolis."

"After cleaning the platters with a chemical solution, Edwards used them in a newly built drive. The process — two days from start to finish — captured 99 percent of the drive's information."

"And to drive home just what a long shot his recovery had been, he later had no success with two other drives found in Columbia's wreckage. Blasted by the unfathomable furnace of entry into the atmosphere, their metals had lost the ability to hold a magnetic charge."

"Japanese MPs have backed plans to scrap rules restricting the use of military technology in space.

Lawmakers say Japan still opposes putting weapons into space, but claim the rules drawn up in 1969 have stifled innovation by Japanese firms.

Some supporters of the bill say it could open the way to Japan launching spy satellites.

Tokyo was alarmed last year when China conducted a test and shot down one of its own weather satellites.

The bill is backed by government and opposition MPs, making it almost certain to become law in the next few weeks. "
