HISTORY OF HYBRIDS

History.

Many years scientists have been creating transgenic bacteria and animals, so that some foreign (human or non-human) genes are purposely inserted into the genome of a living being.
The first medication produced using modern genetic engineering techniques was insulin, this producer required human DNA being inserted into a host cell (E.coli in this case). Due to the inserted human DNA, they produced human insulin.

Hybrids

While researching into the history of hybrids i came across an article by Ackermann on the BBC website. This explained genetic was was produced element of a certain create, animal or plant. It goes on to analyses whether us humans are also considered to be hybrids.

It is seen if your ancestors was from anywhere near Africa, it was a safe bet you are part Neanderthal. 

Writing in the journal Evolutionary Biology, Ackermann and colleagues argue that hybridisation has worked in tandem with other evolutionary processes "that act to diversify populations".

Hybridisation can also result in new combinations of traits, says Ackermann. "It can be quite a creative evolutionary force, which is not how people thought in the past. Brand-new things could be the product of hybridisation."

Ackermann studies hybrid mice and has found that hybrid lineages often have anomalies in their teeth. There was also a great deal in variation of their size. If these new traits are useful, they can be passed onto future generations. Acknermann written in the journal evolutionary biology.


Theory of humans originating from monkey are making us question and consider our humans hybrids, in a former post analysing what human transformation is,  i show a photo of a monkey transforming into a human, therefor we are seen to have the traits of a monkey.

The quote;

"There is one problem with the idea that hybridisation has been crucial for our evolution. We do not have evidence of any interbreeding between species before modern humans left Africa. "

is seen to be an importance to make me an others doubt the birth of humans and if we are considered as a form of a hybrid. As there is seen to be found no evidence to how humans were created or what creature we formed from Ackermann persits her research and how us humans are seen to be created.
