Roslin Institute campus of the University, but despite this, retained its now world famous name. The Institute won international fame in 1996, when Ian Wilmut, Keith Campbell and their colleagues created Dolly the sheep, the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell, at the institute. A year later Polly and Molly were cloned, both sheep contained a human gene. Roslin has made many other contributions to animal sciences, especially in the area of livestock improvement and welfare through applications of Quantitative Genetics. In 2007 a Roslin team developed genetically modified chickens capable of laying eggs containing proteins needed to make
Mammal species included 96 recently extinct. The word "[[:wikt:mammal|mammal]]" is modern, from the scientific name "Mammalia" coined by Carl Linnaeus in 1758, derived from the [[Latin language|Latin]] "[[wikt:mamma#Latin|mamma]]" ("teat, pap"). In an influential 1988 paper, Timothy Rowe defined Mammalia [[Phylogenetics|phylogenetically]] as the [[crown group]] of mammals, the [[clade]] consisting of the [[most recent common ancestor]] of living [[monotreme]]s ([[echidna]]s and [[platypus]]es) and [[theria]]n mammals ([[marsupial]]s and [[placental]]s) and all descendants of that ancestor. Since this ancestor lived in the [[Jurassic]] period, Rowe's definition excludes all animals from the earlier [[Triassic]], despite the fact that Triassic fossils in the [[Haramiyida]] have been
