All US Dairy Cows are descended from the original two cows, and all humans from the first humans, and on, and on. It is interesting how selective breeding has played a part in several industries though. This example sounds a little appalling to my mind, but I'm a fan of horse racing and all thoroughbreds have to trace their lineage to one of three horses or they're not considered thoroughbred and I'm fine with that. What is it that makes some examples unnerving, and some acceptable?
