I just finished rereading all of Dr.Brin's Uplift novels (thanks again, they were great) and a question occurred to me concerning chimps and humans.
Since humans and chimps are from the same planet and have 98% of their DNA identical to one another would The Galactics even consider the two as seperate? I mean when a Kanten or a Soro looked at the two, even to the point of looking at the genetics, wouldn't they simply think they were looking at two variations of the same animal? John Moynihan P.S. I just thought I would post a benign question about Dr.Brin's world as my first post to this forum before I waded into any of the more confrontational topics. ;-) _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
