AI Thread Summary
Scientists are exploring the potential for human limb regeneration by studying the genetics of species capable of regrowing body parts, such as salamanders. A recent National Geographic show highlights ongoing research in this area, focusing on identifying specific genes responsible for regenerative abilities. The discussion references an article in the April issue of Scientific American that may provide further insights into these advancements. The feasibility of applying these genetic insights to humans remains a topic of interest and speculation within the scientific community.

A show on national geographic said scientist's are trying to apply the genetics that can grow back there body parts into human's.Has anybody seen it,also is it possible?

I don't have any sources to back what I'm saying up, but I have heard that scientists are locating genes that determine the regrowth of limbs, etc. The salamander is a perfect example for this quality in a species.

Thread 'Did they discover another descendant of homo erectus?'
The study provides critical new insights into the African Humid Period, a time between 14,500 and 5,000 years ago when the Sahara desert was a green savanna, rich in water bodies that facilitated human habitation and the spread of pastoralism. Later aridification turned this region into the world's largest desert. Due to the extreme aridity of the region today, DNA preservation is poor, making this pioneering ancient DNA study all the more significant. Genomic analyses reveal that the...
