 8000 BCE is pretty early--it's almost certainly inaccurate to have Romans in this list, as they came on the scene significantly later. ~ [[User:Dpr|Dpr]] 07:58, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

 I know biotechnology is widely regarded as a good thing. The definition is broad enough to include selective breeding. But at a certain point we have to leave room for its abysmal failures.

Someone ought to make the timeline convention consistent. AD (Anno Domini) preceeds years; if we want to keep using it, we need to convert (for example) 2003 AD to AD 2003. For legibility, I suggest switching BC to BCE and AD to CE instead; both can follow the year.
