Call it Payback of the Dodo or the Dinosaur. The eternal extinction karma wheel will have finally brought our own human rapid reproduction to roost.

Then, there is a discussion of the implications of creating chimeras or animal-human hybrids.

When did life become a sci-fi novel? When did I start feeling like my childhood already fits into a historical novel?
