Bruce Walsh said "Actual, our mtDNA is from bacteria, so that humans (and
indeed almost all eukarotes) are made up of genes from two different
kingdoms!"
This presumably occurred millions of years ago as symbiosis.
It is my opinion that modern genetic modification by splicing genes from
differently evolved organisms from different kindgoms is more like trying to
get a lion to mate successfully with a tree - I am not sure the lion would
be too pleased! (nor the tree!)
