AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the feasibility of achieving invisibility through genetic modification. One suggestion is that altering skin pigmentation could render a person invisible in low-light conditions. However, true invisibility would likely require more advanced techniques, such as manipulating cellular structures to mimic the transparency of organisms like jellyfish. The consensus is that while some concepts exist, the technology to achieve actual invisibility through genetic means is not currently available.

Is that any possible if we be invisible through the genetic modification ?
 
Biology news on Phys.org
The only thing remotely that i can think of that would give you the genetic capability to be invisible would be to darken your pigments which would make you visually invisible in the dark night.

But most closest thing and this would be a freak experiment would be to try a transparent cell like organism such as a jelly fish. -- to actually be invisible you'd need to controllably transform the cells to another energy and back which I don't see currently possible.

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...
