[edit] Homo sapiens regrowensis?:
There should be a paragraph on why humans and animals of higher class do not have this ability to grow back limbs and organs like the geckos. I know this difference is not yet entirely understood, but the topic is very interesting for the 21st century, e.g. stem cells, organ cloning, etc. Looks like artificial (metal-ceramic-plastic-cybernetic) replacement organs do not work well. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.131.210.162 (talk) 09:20, 16 February 2007 (UTC).

A new study by German scientists of spiders' copulation techniques found that males leave part of their sex organ inside their female partner as a sort of "chastity belt" to deter rivals. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.48.92.128 (talk) 02:14, 19 March 2007 (UTC).
