I wonder if Dr. Venter, while he is creating new life forms, could put together something with an opposable thumb and a large brain immune to thoughts of cruelty and mayhem.
Anthropologists have been searching a long time for the "missing link"-- the intermediary creature between animal and man. They may have overlooked one obvious site: the mirror.
It has often occurred to me that scientists are unable to find a missing link because we are the missing link. I think it is quite possible that future anthropologists will look back at the current version of Homo sapiens and see us as something clearly separate from "lower" animals, but still falling short of what a true human being would be.
