Druid, are you seriously trying to suggest that sometime in the distant past humans employed cloning when we can't even do that successfully now? Or somehow had the ability to do it as a natural process, like a chameleon changing its skin colour?

It's an interesting notion, but from what does this conclusion come, specifically?
