neither one has human legs DNA

[-] equivocal@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago

Do we know that for certain? Maybe they have the DNA but it isn't the resulting phenotype. I.E. There is nothing preventing two brunettes from having redheaded children.

I guess I'm confused what you mean. From ancient Greek mythology "The mythological accounts describe the Minotaur as having the body of a man and the head and tail of a bull."

Minus the trail the legs should essentially be human, no? But if we go into DNA then neither have any human DNA right? Since they're their own species and should have their own DNA.

The.minotaur often gets shown with hoofs (hooves?) and furry legs

I think that's other fantasy settings making their own interpretation, but the original minotaur from my understanding had human legs and feet.
