RE: What is a Chicken? - 100 Years of Playing God
Well-written enjoyable article.
You're singling out the chicken, but we've basically changed everything. Crops, vegetables, fruits... Compare the banana to the plantain for instance. People are so accustomed to artificiality, that their high-school biology never even kicks in to ask a basic question like "but if the fruit's goal is to be eaten so as to spread the seeds, what's the purpose of a banana that has no seeds?" To think of a banana with seeds sounds queer now, when it should be the other way around.
