We scout people all the time. It's a dangerous game, but the stakes are high...
...geneticists, and evolution would soon improve the original breed. DNA would eventually wrap itself in cells and retire to their nuclei to give orders. Cells would later band together into multicelled animals, but they would not escape the commands of the DNA within them. Samuel Butler wrote: "A hen is only an egg's way of making another egg."
