The following timeline is an incomplete listing of important events in the development of biotechnology and transgenics. It shows the systematic advancement toward a post-natural world into a completely synthetic existence where all things necessary for life (since life must feed on life) are patented and owned by companies who fool society into allowing this abomination through promises of medical advances and posthuman "superhuman" existence.
