Of Furries and Genetics
14 years ago
This may be somewhat of a far-fetched theory, but it came up this morning while discussing genetics and psychology.
Apparently, or so I've been told, scientists have been able to put two test tubes with genetic information in them, sealed shut, next to each other overnight in a lab. Without any physical contact, they exchanged genetic information.
So that makes me think: would a person, in their early childhood, share this passing of genetic material with a household pet? And could this be one of the psychological - or even genetic - reasons as to why therians or furries exist?
Putting cultural influences aside (Disney movies, sports teams etc), could it be that the child inherited some of the DNA or mental thinking of their pet dog, and therefore be "less/more than human" in a literal sense? Or does it come from watching the dog's behaviour during childhood and adopting those traits through the learning environment?
Also, do furries with pets feel "more furry" than those without a pet?
It'd be interesting to hear other people's thoughts, if I'm not being too confusing or philosophical...

Nothing big, they just upgraded their mitochondria.
Also, I think I remember reading the Bonobo ape being able to impregnate a human or something along those lines. Not sure, but if they know that, they probably have already tested it out in secrecy.
