Two Monkeys?
Seems that the pic of the monkey that was sent up by Iran, doesn't match the monkey that they showed post-flight.
Monkey see, Monkey do
Best quote from the article:
Quote:
The official explanation is that “the first images provided to Iran’s official news outlets to illustrate their reports had mistakenly shown another of the five monkeys that trained for the flight at the space agency—the one with the mole—and not the one that had actually taken part.” Iran “insisted that the monkey that had made the flight was in good health” but “did not, apparently, offer to disprove rumors that one of the monkeys had died by showing them both.”
Consider another possibility: the theory of multiple monkeys. Iran sends God even knows how many monkeys into space and then cobbles together, surgically, a pastiche monkey from the various limbs of the countless monkey corpses strewn about the spacecraft after it lands. It’s like a Rauschenberg Combine of severed primate remains. Is the “new monkey” one monkey? Is it every monkey? Is it all of us? At a certain point it becomes more of an ontological/philosophical question and less of a biological one.
