and the dog thing, good symbiotic relationships makes dogs better adapted to a human dominated world, right?
..but what if the bird flu gets us all ?
Who wins wolves v dogs (sans humans) ?
I figure that's what you are saying..."good" adaptation is always relative to surviving another sunset.
Hey RL, who on the ark had the bird flu anyway? Two french hens? And how certain are you that it will not evolve into a human born virus?

That's a funny question. Did anyone on the ark have the flu? Maybe, but perhaps they were resistant enough to simply carry it and not succumb. No one and no animal on the ark died, at least, during that time.
(I've always had lots of questions about the ark. Many folks believe that representatives of some of the larger species were possibly taken aboard as young or even newborn (almost) to preserve space and food, etc. Some think that hibernation may have helped control some animals for part of the ride and conserve food as well. No way to know for sure, but these would be practical solutions.)
Back to question: Will bird flu be transmitted human-to-human? It's very possible.
