Yesterday I read in a scientific magazine that it is impossible. It is true that human chromosomes have many similarities other monkeys' chromo- somes, but they are a little rearranged. If you combine a set of human and a set of monkey-chromosomes, such a combina- tion cannot give rise to a specimen of anything. You see, two of each rudiment is needed to develop a foetus. _______________________________________________________________________________ | | | | | Niklas Grip | University of Luleaa | Some day I will | | Vallstensgatan 7 | Internet: d90-ngp@sm.luth.se | make some nice | | 951 59 Luleaa | Bitnet : d90-ngp%sm.luth.se@sekth | logo and remove | | SWEDEN |====================================| this damn text! | | Phone: 0920-26228 (international: +46 920 26228) | | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
