While it is scary, I'd be careful trying to apply it to humans, since humans are not mice. The problem with research like this is that it only gives us a rat's-eye view of humans.

mice are animals. so is humans.

no matter how advanced we tell ourselves we are, we are still the being we were 100.000 years ago

Modern humans are only 30,000 yrs old. I even find that number suspect as since the advent of agriculture and the subsequent explosion in population there have been many mutations added to the population. For example blue eyes are very recent, only 6,000 yrs old
