cow or dog

[q-she]

what i was allways wondering. is the human beeing more related to the cow or to the dog?

[honee_v]

try this... if someone calls you by name... would you rather say 'mooooo'... or 'bowow wow'... ??

[Dr.Stein]

Or do you prefer plants rather meats?

Or do you prefer plants rather meats?

but anyways to give q-she somethn to ponder, here, maybe youd like to read this, q-she.. check this link http://www.biology-online.org/articles/ ... veals.html

to quote: Man's best friend, in this case a male poodle, is genetically more similar to humans than is the mouse, a more commonly used laboratory animal, according to researchers who have completed the first rough draft sequence of the genes of a dog.

they have not yet started sequencing the genes of cow... so no point of comparison for now...

thank you
fact is, it was a serious question. my uncle asked me. and i did not know.

no matter how silly it may seem to others just remember this famous chinese proverb:

He who asks is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask remains a fool forever

[Dustfinger]

I don't think it was a silly questioon at all. In our bio book we've got relations trees of the species and it also says there that the dog is closer related to humans.

[Dr.Stein]

No question is silly. Questioning means learning. No question no learning. However, too much questions is annoying

I love joking, you all should know that

[honee_v]

anyways, q-she laughed at her (or his?) question first so i think its ok to laugh 'with' her...

[q-she]

it`s ok. i got the question, and had to lough my self, but on the other hand i wanted to know. thank you for the info and the good entertainement too.

[Dr.Stein]

Uff you sound too formal for me

[q-she]
