If the offspring shows defects, it just isn't used for breeding.Population bottlenecks happen and happened naturally:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_bottleneckSpecies still survived. Some without human intervention. Re: Always wondered (Score: 1) by richardnixon@pipedot.org on 2014-11-21 15:35 (#2V51) My mind immediately wondered what they would taste like...
