I am starting a new mailing list to discuss animal hybrids, chimeras,
and the likelyhood that humans and chimpanzees can cross. If you
would like to be on this list send mail to:
vac+chimphuman-request at cs.cmu.edu
The list will be:
vac+chimphuman at cs.cmu.edu
I will moderate this list. I am not particularly interested in
discussing ethics but will allow posts on this subject that add
something more interesting than "I think this is unethical".
Discussion about animal hybrids in general or chimeras will
be welcomed. I will maintain a list of known hybrids, how
different the DNA is for each pair, how far back the two
species had a common ancestor, and a reference.
I expect this to be a very low volume mailing list with the
possible exception of the first week or so.
