Hopefully not. No wishes to be bit by badgers. Should have read the earlier posts already bringing the ant/fungus argument.

Still, if the ants create changes in the species they farm through forced selection, but are not considered artificial, how can
we be considered artificial when we do the same thing?
When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained.
