This is a little bit of interest. :) Platypus have 10 sex genes!!!!!, suggesting interesting potential for combination. They may even be able to change sex if they need to. There are fish who do the same. If they can, why not us? :)

I heard on the radio today that genesist have determined that the human genome has only a 1% variation from monkeys/ apes. But that the male human and the female human have a 2% variation from each other. Guess CD'ers fall into the 1.5% category +/- ??? :lol: :lol: :lol: Of course it may not be all that funny :oops: :oops: :oops:
