mouse and bat like this one partake a genetic antecedent , and now they may become one species again . Yesterday , scientists foretell they ’d engineered mice with proto - squash racquet wings . investigator added bat factor to the mouse genome , and the result were “ mouse with abnormally longsighted forelimbs . ” Those long branch are the first evolutionary step towards wings . More significantly , towards mice with wings . Or mass .
grant to Science Daily :
Dr. Richard Behringer report the significance of his finding as such : “ Darwin suggested that “ successive slight modifications ” would ultimately result in the phylogeny of various limb morphology , like a hand , backstage , or tailfin . The transmissible alteration we engineered in mice may be one of those “ slim modifications ” to evolve a mammalian wing . ”
Sign me up for the wings . After I alter my bones to be hollow and my body to be about an eighth of its sizing .
