Strange Question

[--Pete]

Hi,

I assume you would argue that Archaeopteryxs are actually descended from dinosaurs and may not have been able to fly at all.

Yes and maybe. But it does answer the age old chicken and egg dilemma. :lol:

. . . there was a recent article in Nature in which they discussed the possibility of bringing wooly mammoths . . .

Yep. As well as a few other extinct species where there's some DNA available and something close to use as a starting point. But you spoiled my joke. :(

Let me get this straight. You are saying I can´t attach the basis of a thousand year old taboo on something that is a 50 year old phenomenon? Where do you get the nerve? (i.e. interesting point. I was wrong about the source of the taboo.)

Of course you can, people invent ancient traditions every day. And I had some extra nerve left over when they replaced my hips -- didn't need it in the titanium.;)
