How could neanderthal and human interbreed to produce healthy viable offspring?

Neanderthals and humans were genetically similar enough to be able to produce viable offspring when interbreeding occurred. The hybrid offspring likely benefited from gene flow between the two populations, leading to increased genetic diversity. Additionally, the ability to interbreed indicates that Neanderthals and humans were closely related species.


When did humans begin to dream?

It is believed that humans have been dreaming for as long as our species has existed, dating back to prehistoric times. Dreaming is a natural part of human sleep cycles and has been a subject of curiosity and study across different cultures and civilizations throughout history.


Can a Human be part cat?

No, at least for now, they cannot. Genetically, cats and people are very different. It would not be possible to breed cat/human hybrids, even in a lab. Transplants of feline parts would be rejected if implanted into a human. On a slightly different note, you always hear about how closely related people and monkeys are. What you don't usually hear is that genetically, people are even closer to pigs genetically. Pigs are sometimes used as donors for human parts during surgery. A very common example of this is heart valve replacement. The heart valves of pigs have been successfully used in human hearts for a couple of decades now. So a person cannot be part cat, but they can be part pig.


On which continent did early humans first appear?

How long have humans been counting?

Humans have been counting for thousands of years, with evidence of counting systems dating back to ancient civilizations like the Sumerians and Egyptians around 5000 years ago. The development of counting likely evolved over time as humans settled into agricultural societies and needed to keep track of resources, trade, and other transactions.

What action has been taken to try and prevent genetically modified food technology developing?

No movement to try to prevent the development of genetically modified food technology is known.

What breeds of dogs have been genetically altered to Benefit humans?

I think the argument can be made that EVERY modern dog breed has been created/"genetically altered"/specifically bred soley to benefit humans. Every dog breed has evolved to suit someone's role in life, such as: guarding, herding, hunting, companion, etc.


What are genetically modified mosquitoes?

Genetically modified mosquitoes are not like mosquitoes in nature. They have been genetically altered to possess a genetic kill switch, so when they mate with regular female mosquitoes, their offspring will not live.So far they have been successful in killing off native populations.They do this when a certain population of them are carrying serious diseases that affect humans.

Does Kentucky Fried Chicken use genetically manipulated organisms instead of real chicken?

Farmers, and ranchers, and gardeners have been genetically modifying plants and animals since the days of Gregor Mendel before 1900. Over one hundred years. You probably can't buy a Petunia that hasn't been genetically modified sometime along the way. So is it a 'real' Petunia or not? If it looks like a chicken and clucks like a chicken and walks like a chicken and tastes like a chicken; it's a chicken.

Can clones never be human Why?

No humans have been cloned yet. Should a human ever be cloned, then presumably, the clone would be identical (genetically) to the original from which it is copied; thus, it would be a human.
