...effort isn't the first attempt to resurrect the ancient cattle. The aurochs played an important role in early German culture, and in the early 20th century the Nazi government funded an attempt to breed them back as part of its propaganda effort. The result, known as Heck cattle, may to some extent resemble the ancient aurochs, says Kerkdijk, but they're genetically quite different.

All in all, I believe both education systems have their advantages and disadvantages, and a lot to learn from each other...
...said, the euro itself could be endangered. But the E.U. sent a message on Thursday that it was not about to let that happen. Now it's banking on the hope that its public show of solidarity will restore a sense of confidence in the currency. Boring as it may be, stability is all the euro zone wants right...
