June 12, 201510 yr Fascinating and creepy at the same time. Thoughts? Do you think they can clone a mammoth? Published on Apr 8, 2015 Right now, in the 21st century, South Korean scientists are actually working to resurrect the prehistoric woolly mammoth using cloning technology and the flesh of perfectly preserved specimen once buried in Northern Siberia. The hope is that if they can find an active cell from the meaty leg of a 40,000 year old frozen mammoth, it could hold the keys to bringing back the extinct species.At the same time, shady tusk hunting Siberians looking for mammoth ivory support the Korean cloning project, by discovering frozen mammoths in the quickly melting permafrost of the Russian Far North. This bizarre supply chain inspired us to travel to Seoul, Yakutsk, and Moscow, to learn about humanity’s quest to both profit from, and clone, the legendary woolly mammoth.
June 13, 201510 yr to be completely honest, we've already done so much to the ecosystem of earth that has changed so much, I don't think there is that much difference with bringing a species back.
