DawkinsIf all the achievements of scientists were wiped out tomorrow, there would be no doctors but witch doctors, no transport faster than horses, no computers, no printed books, no agriculture beyond subsistence peasant farming. If all the achievements of theologians were wiped out tomorrow, would anyone notice the smallest difference? Even the bad achievements of scientists, the bombs, and sonar-guided whaling vessels work!

We can't (quite) interbreed with modern chimpanzees, but we'd need only a handful of intermediate types to be able to sing: "I've bred with a man, who's bred with a girl, who's bred with a chimpanzee."
It is sheer luck that this handful of intermediates no longer exists. ("Luck" from some points of view: for myself, I should love to meet them.)
