i read something this weekend on how the human is in the same league as "caenorhabditis elegans" and "arabidopsis thaliana"
...which means he´s got way less genes then he was supposed to. We´re basically not any better as pest plant or a worm. that´s like 20.000 - up to
25.000 various genes only whereas everybody thought we´re like 30.000 - 40.000. it´s utterly depressing. i thought we´re pretty complicated to
rebuild.

i think it was physically (like organs and junk) pigs and genetically monkeys

evolutionary, it was chimpanzees, right? they (try to?) use pigs to grow human organs for xenogenic transplantations.

oh, that reminds me of:
They tell us that
We lost our tails
Evolving up
From little snails
I say it’s all
Just wind in sails
Are we not men?
We are devo!
We’re pinheads now
We are not whole
We’re pinheads all
Jocko homo
Are we not men?
D-e-v-o
Monkey men all
In business suit
Teachers and critics
All dance the poot
Are we not men?
We are devo!
Are we not men?
D-e-v-o
God made man
But he used the monkey to do it
Apes in the plan
We’re all here to prove it
I can walk like an ape
Talk like an ape
I can do what a monkey can do
God made man
But a monkey supplied the glue
We must repeat
O.k. let’s go!
