Professor Jim Smith conducted a study to compare the bird flu epidemic which occurred in 1997 with other deadly epidemics in our history. He found that the earliest epidemics took place as early as 500 to 550 CE, which killed half of the population in that particular area. The same epidemic, called "The Black Death" returned in the 1330s in Asia and spread quickly to Europe. Some hundred years later, the Great Flu epidemic broke out in 1918, also known as the Spanish Flu, killing 50 million people. This was considered the most severe epidemic in human history. The 1997 bird flu which claimed over 100 lives was an adaptation of the Great Flu of 1918.

Cloning is the process of making an exact copy of a plant or animal and developing it either naturally or artificially. Natural cloning has been going on for generations. For example, gardeners have been using a form of cloning when they take a cutting from a plant and place it in a suitable medium, such as soil. Another example of natural cloning is identical twins, who are produced from the same egg.
