Where predators are rare, turning more attention to feeding might produce a Darwinian benefit, for example. Many of the great debates over human behavior, those related to things such as race or gender, are muddled and messy because plasticity is ignored. The most famous example of this is probably the Galapagos Islands.

But many researchers - although adamant that animal research remains critical to finding cures and expanding medical knowledge - have come to concede that using creatures as human stand-ins is unnecessary for many procedures. Plus, animals are messy, require feeding and constant care, draw protests, and, yes, can be a bit smelly.

The article discusses how scientists are infecting monkeys with a surrogate HIV virus that does not even lead to AIDS, begging the question of why infect them in first place if there's no real simulation of what happens in humans?
