I read yesterday an article which discussed an idea put forth
by some scientist that birds and mammals are more closely related than
birds and reptiles.  Anyway, one of the comments was that some research
about protein comparisons had indicated the closest relative to man
for the particular protein was a chicken.

However, I went back today and was unable to find the magazine again.
I was merely browsing among the periodical shelves and have no idea
where to find the magazine.  I do remember that the reason I picked
it up was an article by Stephen Hawkings ( spelling? , The british
physicist confined to a wheelchair) about space and time and
singularities and the origin of the univerise.
Also, the magazine struck me as using "British" (as opposed to American)
english.

Anyway, prior reports of the chicken-human protein relationships
may have been what Gish was refering to.  I didn't see any mention of
bullfrogs, but then the article was on birds and mammals, not reptiles.
