• Dolly the Sheep: A Scientific Breakthrough in Cloning On July 5, 1996, Dolly the sheep was born at the Roslin Institute in Scotland, marking a groundbreaking moment in scientific history. She was the first mammal successfully cloned from an adult somatic cell, a revolutionary achievement that challenged previous understanding of cellular potential and genetic replication. The cloning process, led by scientists Ian Wilmut and Keith Campbell, involved transferring the nucleus of an adult sheep's mammary gland cell into an unfertilized egg cell, which was then implanted into a surrogate mother. Dolly's creation demonstrated that a fully differentiated adult cell could be reprogrammed to generate an entire organism, opening new possibilities in genetic research, medicine, and biotechnology.
• Centennial of the Modern Olympic Games in Atlanta The 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, celebrated the 100th anniversary of the modern Olympic Games. This milestone event brought together athletes from around the world to commemorate the international sporting tradition that began in Athens in 1896.
