as most of you have already said, this points to the interconnectedness of life.
what you also have to think about, though, is how such a very small difference creates a very different creature. when the fda states that cloned meat is "virtually indistinguishable" from regular meat, don't you wonder what percent is different? and what that percent means?
from chemistry perspective: carbon can bond one way and become a diamond, or another and become graphite. same ingredient, just put together differently, producing vastly different results.
so when the government/researchers downplay differences between man-made and nature-made, i'm going to think about chimps and humans, not to insult chimps...

Yeah, virtually indistinguishable (cloned meat)? Let's have them live on it for a decade and then we can talk! Good analogy to Carbon, I always found it interesting what different configurations can produce. I used to grade diamonds, I saw a 12-carat heart faceted one once that would have bought a few houses, sick huh!
Yes, the photo on my blog is Sierra Valley, the largest alpine valley in North America, that is where I call home for now.
