We share half our genes with the banana. Granted the scientists are (probably) only talking about editing the 0.3% of the genome that makes humans different from each other, but with so much of our DNA shared with other eukaryote celled life, adding leaves may not be that difficult.

Given that the other half come from monkeys, is this why babies try and eat their toes?
