A biological question for biologist and other scientific types.

This is an interesting question! Truthfully though, if you want to look at the persons genetic makeup, every homo homo-sapien that has ever existed is 99.98% genetically similar to every other one. the only thing's that change through time in our make up is small mutations in our xy chromosomes, which are called markers. once someone has this marker, it will be carried on forever after down that genetic line, and the next mutation to occur will also be carried down forever ext. so to answer your question, it is impossible for there to be a past figure 100% genetically recreated since our dna is made up of links that indicate a progression of changes. you can't go backwards in the chain. but really since we are all so genetically similar anyway, it's like each one of us is the remake of every single person that has existed!

Thank you for a good answer.

Good, but not quite as good as my AMAZING answer.

I guess nobody can top warping the laws of reality and surfing crocodiles.

Yes, nobody can't. You're answer was awesome.

lol yes i must say it's hard to argue with the probability factor. however, i must say, nature always seems to blow my mind with things that have next to 0 percent chance of heppening, and still happen.

Exhibit A: existence.

Exhibit B: Platypus

Those things are wicked cool!

See? Even moderators double post!

Exhibit C: Pasteurized Milk

Well, perhaps Pasteur didn't really discover it naturally, but you get the point. It's awesome.

i dunno, egg laying mammals? i never seen no dog lay an egg

Cloning. just an uneducated guess from a right handed person

I want them to clone Qin Shi Huangdi.
