      Hi Beth, it’s human nature to push the limits and strive to do greater things. It’s not human nature to want to return to a situation where we would be worse off and I consider being a monkey worse than being a human. Although I might add there are lots of people in the world who act like monkeys or apes sometimes 🙂

      Hi Beth, I am sure scientists are looking at ways of modifying genetic make up of both animals and humans, so maybe it will be possible to create some sort of modified creature in teh future – but that may neither be morally or ethically correct. I think we should focus on advancing and using our intelligence to make the world a better place to live for all.
