which is exactly the bananas we eat today are facing extinction--they're all clones, (our fault), and there's a new fungal disease.And this is the repeat. For those old enough to remember bananas from the fifties, today's variety is a different sort--not as sweet, or good tasting.we control the genetic identity so well in bananas that they are essentially clones, and we don't let them mix--the only source of new information is genetic mutation, and we probably do an effective job of weeding it out.
