Definitely, at the time in which I was watching the documentary, one of my 
relatives (mother) was also watching and thought that the entire program was 
a serious discussion of the future fauna of Earth and that somehow these 
clever scientists had figured it out somewhat.  Consider, has anyone here 
ever seen that documentary about dinosaurs long ago (early 1990's) where the 
host (Don Lessem?) turns into a dinosaur?  When I first saw that, I was 
rather young and took it very seriously.
