     Ohno.  Not evolution again.  Karl Popper would be turning over in
     his grave (that is, if he were dead).

     Don't you find this type of experimentation unethical?  Or at least
     very inconvenient?  Yo, over there,  Ghengis, you'll have this
     civilization for a thousand years.  We'll see how she 'flourishes'.
