When were plasmids invented?

[GG88811]

In other words, did they happen before or during the civil war? I thought I heard that they came during the war, and were predominantly used for war reasons and then after that came altering strength, looks, intelligence, and other attributes, but a friend disagrees. Any comments?

The plasmids were invented before the war. The war was caused by the plasmids...

Of course, some plasmids were probably developed specifically for the war.

ADAM was discovered before and also caused the War.

It was during the war that the ability to splice ADAM with Human DNA to create Plasmids was discovered.

I thought it had something to do with some slug/snail that was discovered down there.

[Booze_Hound]

Yeah, ADAM comes from the sea slug things.

My quess is the plasmids were first being made to improve work speed and those kinda things but the because of the war the ``aggressive`` plasmids were made.
