.... though the initial Uplift of Earth was a rogue undertaking... accomplished by Wolflings far removed from the conventional wisdom of the Galactic Community... and that term 'Wolfling'... what did Brin mean by that? (...and did the Tibrini represent Baloo the Bear?..... lmao/tiny...) I imagine the Chimps of the Uplift universe were heavily reg/bonobo hybrids... esp considering the scene in the chimp bar...

They'd be a faster, easier Uplift, wouldn't they? Hmmm... why not dogs.... for fear they'd out-compete us? Or become such devoted servants they'd pull a Humanoids on us? Or worse yet, for fear they'd be just what the rest of the Uplift universe wanted in its clients, a race that never would be independent because they'd been bred to service too long. http://idiotgrrl.livejournal.com/ Date: Fri, 8 May 2009 07:22:09 -0700 From: [email protected] Subject: Uplift Universe question.... To: [email protected] I'm sure that this has been asked many times on this list... so real quickly... Why were no Dogs included in the book Uplift Wars? -Leonard (dog breeder :-D ) -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ http://mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
