Hi RAZD, First off, even with humans you get rejection of transplanted organs, the risk is just lower the closer the DNA matches. If you get a transplant you will be taking medication to quell rejection for the rest of your life. Second, when the Europeans invaded America they killed more indians with disease than with guns. There are many places where whole villages were wiped out by diseases such as small pox, diseases that did not kill the europeans because they had evolved immunity to the diseases, immunity that the indians did not have. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_history_of_American_indigenous_peoplesA sad part of history. Yes, and this is what I stated earlier. That even in humans, the ideal transplant is within the same family. The closer, the better. Thanks for clarifying it again. And your example, is also met by many others when europeans visited other places and pretty much killed many of the natives with diseases they had never encountered before. When one is exposed, eventually (if you don't die), you develop immunity to it. You call it evolution period, but I refer to this kind of evolution as as the inbuilt adaption/variation qualities provided by a designer. Humans can easily spread disease to eachother, because we are the same kind, but not so much with animals. It appears that primates are resistant to the deadly diseases that have potential to kill humans, but it doesn't seem that we are resistant to theirs. And it seems they don't pass the diseases in the same way as humans do to eachother. An organ transplant exposure from a primate, is a little different than how the natives died from the the europeans exposure! I've not heard yet of europeans visiting an area of primates and wiping them out by new and different diseases, nor the other way around. So I cannot quite compare these two senarios as being the same. But yes, it is a very sad story. But it is part of life and death and something each and every one of us is going to face at some point, one way or the other. Unless we can evolve our way of reversing the ageing processs. I sure wish we could. Even if we did eventually do this and evolved to resist disease and other disorders, we'll never evolve a way out of being hit by a bus or other accident on impact  . Just as a fly will never develop immunity to a fly swatt  if indeed evolution is a reality, doesn't seem capable of turning us into anything we are not. Hence why we continually require imitating nature in our designs. We don't rely on evolution, but rather our god given brains and talents and ability to imitate and emulate. What better to imitate than the example God has given in nature to help us improve on our day to day life, travel and other areas of design. We want to fly and soar like the birds and gain faster travel, we design the aeroplane. We want to communicate overseas, we design devices to do so. Evolution/chance/process are not responsible for this. Our use of our minds with thought, planning and intention are. It is our mind that also sets us aside from every other animal. It's ironic that we can all recognise and accept the mind behind the imitative designs of nature, but refuse to acknowledge or recognise the genuis mind behind nature itself, which gave the example in the first place.
