All,

On the subject of neotony, which I am beginning to find fascinating, I have
some questions...

1.  Where did modern cows come from? What animal?
2.  Why is it that some modern cows can only survive on concentrated feeds?
3.  Has anyone speculated that the modern human form could mate with a
neanderthal or bigfoot, or prior species, besides those 'stories' that we read
about or see on In Search Of type shows?  Are we the poodle to the fox?
4.  What happens when poodles live in the wild for 15 generations?
5.  As some humans live in the wild, their 'neotony' would seem to be
tool/culture based?  Culture prevents maturity at the same time that it is
creative?
6.  What is the explanation for Cro-Magnun's smaller body compared to
neanderthal regarding food intake?  Why get smaller?  Is it simply a matter of
maturity?
7.  Why are Down's Syndrome considered neotony?  That seems to me to be
different than fox and poodle.  I would think that 40 year old kids living
with their parents, watching tv and playing video games are an example of
neotony, no?  Down's Syndrome seems to be a gene error?

I guess that's good for now...

Thanks!

Aaron
