I believe it, when my 4 pound guard dog was howling in his sleep, the first thing I though was that there must only be 40 genes separating my dog from a wolf.

I wish I knew how to post a pic. My dog (Cacasian Ovcharka) was bred to kill wolves. I bet there's not much genetic difference between him and them.

I don't care how many jeans you put on a fuffy little rat dog it is not going to look like a wolf.

There are only a few genes separating fish, birds, humans, whales, cows, chickens, etc. This is just evo-hype to get you to believe we all came from pond scum. The trick is to get the genes in the right sequence so you won't have offspring more related to bacteria. It is also the main reason we should FEAR the gene splicers. I agree that wonderful things could come from jiggering genes, as long as we realize the consequences of a slight screw up. I was watching a show on nano bots the other day, and they talked about the "Grey Goo" syndrome. It was a nano bot designed to eat spilled hydrocarbons(oil spills). The only problem was a software glitch that happened when they self replicated and started eating all carbon based lifeforms. Just imagine "beneficial insects", disease resistant food, etc, to come up with all kinds of doomsday scenario's. We may start looking for that tomato that has a bruise, or an orange with a spot on it because the perfect ones may kill us.
Whole Foods is the only grocery company growing at double digits for a reason.

The problem with a blanket statement like this is that not all genes are created equal. Some genes do next to nothing(i.e. influence hair or skin color. Other genes are "big picture" genes. They make sure our arms and legs end up in the right place, and stuff like that. Exactly what genes separate my dogs from a wolf, that is the question. Someone needs to start a genetics ping list.
