Alright! More Ferreting! I otter pay more attention to mustelids. I just found out ferrets are a domestication of the European polecat. Bonkers.

Some ferrets. Don't forget that the black-footed ferret is indigenous to North America.

The domestic polecats were ferrets first, so that makes north american natives wanna-be ferrets. Though not too distant of relatives.

I'd say they were ferrets first, as these words are human constructs laid over things that exist without such precise boundaries. If you take a black-footed ferret right now, it is a member of a population with a certain frequency of alleles and other physical properties that they have right at this moment in history, that was named back when it had slightly different characteristics than it does now. "Species" is a human concept with big problems in and of itself. "Ferret" is a slightly better word, first applied (in an earlier form no doubt) to domesticated european polecats.
I'll say black-footed ferrets are misnamed. How about "American polecat"? Haha, just googled it. That is another name for B-FFs.
Edit- But enough of that. What are Trevor and Hans doing now..?

Are the phantoms radioactive space aliens attracted to the fair by the otherworldly geometry of the Xian's unfortunate sculptures? If one was eating a rabbit and Mr. Browning found his goods, does that mean he didn't find all of them, or that the phantoms acquired the rabbits independently? And don't they know better to molest humans with their mouths full?
You don't have to answer that. Except by writing more of the story!

Oh my god, can we have killer kale in there for real, Kristi? Good luck with the genetics exam DK! You are the wisest of us all, all I know is it's the stuff what gets passed down from your parents.

If by "wisest of us all" you mean "person who knows a lot about a few narrow subjects like plankton gene expression" I totally agree ;D
Edit: What I wouldn't give to understand ... THE HUMAN HEART! Just kidding. Who needs that!
