Well it has gone to the dogs, at least in Korea. A group in Korea has created the first cloned dog and won a race with a well financed American firm. The development of Korean science has been impressive and this is just another example. One wonders what it is tha allows them to advance while similar nations with even more resources can’t seem to get it together. The have been oppressed by the Chinese and Japanese for centuries. Other nations with less to show for their efforts complain about a colonial past but if such passed oppression is the excuse then why have Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and others such as the U.S. done so well. I was in Korea a number of years ago and was impressed by their work ethic and their respect for technology. I believe that the major factor is attitude and a willingness to work hard. The only other explanation is that they are genetically superior which I don’t believe. We are all very similar genetically having evolved from a small group of individuals that existed on the brink of extinction about 150,000 years ago.
