ABSTRACT
Restoring to humans
traits that evolution left behind.
Loaches breathe through their intestines. Lancelets carry a liver that is little more than a sac. Learning from mechanisms like these, we create new traits for humankind.
We extend what organs can do, and synthesize new functional value.
