This chapter analyzes the social and cultural significance of recent efforts to sequence the genomes of long-extinct species, focusing on the debate about whether or not it will become possible to bring back the
First where would they put the animals? They talk about bringing back the Wooly Mammoth. Due to the size of it, they would have to make or set off a large enough piece of land for it. Of course they could not just make one animal. They would have to make several of the same speci...
In its quest to bring back the extinct woolly mammoth, a Texas bioengineering company has taken its first steps to genetically engineer the prehistoric creature by creating what it described as 'woolly mice'pic.twitter.com/1qdqpxMrHH— Reuters (@Reuters)March 5, 2025 Get our free mobile app ...
Sergey Zimov told us when man became the main predator, the woolly mammoth and other large grazers were hunted to extinction. Forest replaced grasslands and that made Siberia vulnerable to a warming climate. Because trees trap more heat than grass. And winter temperatures of ...
Bringing mammoth-like creatures back to the tundra could, in theory, help recreate the steppe ecosystem more widely. Because grass absorbs less sunlight than trees, this would cause the ground to absorb less heat and in turn keep the carbon pools and their greenhouse gases on ice for longer....
Laboratories around the world are working to bring back other long-gone species as well, such as the Pyrenean Ibex, the Tasmanian Tiger, and the Woolly Mammoth. Scientists say it's not just a matter of if, but when. Should we be doing this at all, though? That's the question that na...

The article focuses on the efforts of genetic engineering and de-extinction projects firm Colossal Biosciences to bring back the woolly mammoth through genetic engineering, with a projected birth of a calf in four years' time. Topics discussed include the ethical considerations surrounding the project...

The discovery of a woolly mammoth, Mammuthus primigenius, on the campus of Principia College, located on the bluffs of the Mississippi River at Elsah, Illinois, is bringing geology into the K-12 curriculum of schools in Illinois and beyond. While excavation of the skeletal elements and ...
