No point ElM, <MQ should spend his time seeking a DNA of evil guys... > That's as common as dirt and nature gradually, relentlessly and perpetually renders it back to CO2 for recycling to try again. VVV got there after a billion years of 99.9999999999999% failure rate of DNA attempts. Nearly all DNA is a fail. That's why it's such a hunt for the dinkum oil. There is so little of it, spread thinly here and there, disguised at times, lurking in the murk with other DNA, waiting for the opportunity to gain strength. If you want bung DNA, look anywhere and everywhere. Your own genome is loaded with it. Finding the good stuff is where it's at. That's more difficult. Women work at it assiduously with their eugenics programmes to find and create the good stuff, doing a much better job of it than the male eugenicists who are very clueless and often if not always counter-productive. Such as for example the idiot murderous eugenicists of Germany 70 years ago. Virtuous Victorian Values are the outcome of a billion years of perpetual attempts to reach perfection. The job is not finished. It is about to get ramped up in a big way. With 6 billion of us, there is a LOT of DNA to be sorted through to find the good stuff. That's more DNA than has ever existed, by a longggg way. And now we have tools to do intelligent searches. It is being done right now. A doctor I know in NZ has a gene that causes stomach cancer. He got the short straw and has had his stomach removed. In having children [now doing] he and his wife inspect [with help] the candidate zygotes and will implant the one without the bung DNA. Hey presto, elimination of the problem. With 23andMe, and Complete Genomics, and other efforts, there is a burgeoning opportunity to solve a lot of problems and avoid a lot of disasters while seeking VVV genes and supersonic brain power function. Who among us wouldn't twirl the dial a bit higher for their own brain power? I could do with another 60 points, with a memory plug-in too. Mqurice
