Both me, with my 278 Neanderthal variants, and the Monarch butterfly with its hidden payload of vespine genes being finer examples of this, the latter being a "gift" from parasitic wasps, but repurposed through time to confer immunity from the predations of a virus deadly to the survival of both insects. But as for my own blended heritage, I'm still waiting to see what advantages the commingling has bestowed -- the ability perhaps to subtract from the world's noise the approach of a saber-toothed cat, or how best to prepare mammoth milk so it's digestible. In the meantime, however, sans revelation, I continue to daub paint in animal shape on the prefab walls of my cave.
