GMOs are like evolution by mutation except that this mutation is not the result of chance but it is orchestrated and directed by humans

man is a natural GMO like all living beings on this Earth, technically speaking, the return of mammals to the aquatic environment is proof

The alterglobalists demonized it, but in the end it is just an accelerated method compared to the previous methods, the first of which date from the beginning of agriculture.

no, it is the very source of biodiversity on Earth, without modification (mutation) of the first genome, there would be no life on Earth, it is because nature is what man does has been able to copy, we must not believe ourselves superior, man is only a dunce who is most often content to copy nature, afterwards like any "good" dunce he modifies at the margin in what he copied then said he "improved" and immediately he shouts genius

I don't even understand this reaction.
Nature does not produce cauliflower, artichoke, hen that lays every day ext, ext ... With wild plants, the cultivated area per person feeds explodes.

This is what man has always done since the beginnings of agriculture, with crossbreeding.
It's just that today the technique is much more effective.

Nature has no need for it. Its only principle since the appearance of life on earth is: "sink or swim". Overall it is very effective. Nothing is done for a given goal, each species is invited to work out within its constraints, in particular by eating each other, until too drastic constraints do so. vanish.
Fortunately that the man is aware of it and knew how to put it in step for our greater good, otherwise not sure that we would not have already suffered the fate of dinosaurs or mammoths.

yes because we can introduce a gene of a different species, impossible by crossing

the dinosaurs didn't have a bowl, the mammoths are part of the first species that we exterminated (we ate them all ), fortunately we are the super predator, otherwise yes we could have already disappeared, it was almost the case during the last glaciation

GMO or selection, the man as soon as he understood that he could improve a species to his advantage was not without it, yesterday excellent report on the best friend of man the dog, according to the report and the genetic analysis, all the dogs of the world is approximately 1 billion would all come from a group of domesticated wolves of a dozen individuals no more, then by zapping another excellent report on the wolves in France, the TV cultivated me yesterday

Unless it is based on recent studies, it is far from being settled. https://www.pourlascience.fr/sd/archeol ... -12640.php
