The ANT-20 was used to para-shoot troops. That is a normal use. But on the ANT they held onto the top of the wing & then just slid off. If I remember correctly there were more troop's inside. Saw that on an old documentary video long time ago.

Who was the first European to discover North America??
Who were the first Europeans to live in north America??? It is debated - still.

There was an animal that evolved in North America then went extinct here. Thousands of years later it was re- introduced and is very common today. No Not Pigs.
What is it??

Ya did real good. :thumbsup:

There is some debate that neolithic man may have come over from Europe some 10/12 thousand years ago. Based on the difference between eastern & western arrow heads. But I was not there.

You've had more coffee than I have this morning, to be so deep in thought! :laughing:

Interesting question; answer: as a general rule, no. They are the same atoms that have existed for millenia, they are just re-routed from the air, soil, water, etc. and incorporated into "new" tissue of a new living organism. If you consider that there is some radioactive decay, e.g. carbon, then there is some change from one isotope to another, but it is the same atom until it goes from say Uranium to Lead. There is some change in molecular structure of course, as C H O P K I N S Ca Fe and trace elements recombine to form new molecular structure in the new tissue, but that's not the same as a new atom.

There is some evidence out there that limited transmutation can occur in living organisms; e.g., some experiments seem to show that chickens deprived of Calcium can convert Potassium to Calcium and therefore lay perfectly normal eggs, and the chicks will incorporate more Calcium into their bodies than was available from the egg. Other experimenters have claimed that some plants and bacteria can do likewise, but needless to say, some scientists are skeptical. If this is true, the answer would have to incorporate a qualified "yes" to this limited extent.
