Dan, Concerning your point about genetic engineering by ancient farmers. This month's issue of Scientific American (April, 99) has a very interesting article which expands on this issue. I found the below summary on their website: sciam.com The Revival of Colored Cotton James M. Vreeland, Jr. Today's fashion craze for cotton fabrics made without artificial dyes owes a debt to the indigenous people of the Americas. For thousands of years, pre-Columbian Indians have been cultivating cotton plant stocks with fibers that are naturally green, red and other colors. Unfortunately, this article does not appear in their website. You'll have to buy a copy of the magazine.
