 Japanese scientists have  produced a mouse that tweets like a bird in a genetically engineered  "evolution" which they hope will shed light on the origins of human  language.
Japanese scientists have  produced a mouse that tweets like a bird in a genetically engineered  "evolution" which they hope will shed light on the origins of human  language.A team of researchers at the University of Osaka created the animal  in their "Evolved Mouse Project", in which they use genetically modified  mice that are prone to miscopying DNA and thus to mutations.
"Mutations are the driving force of evolution. We have cross-bred the  genetically modified mice for generations to see what would happen,"  lead researcher Arikuni Uchimura told AFP.
