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...
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 ...
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 ...
Yet tackling global climate change needs ambitious, novel and often epic solutions, both to reduce emissions and to minimize the chance positive feedback from the Arctic that may cause untold damage to our climate system. I don’t know if bringing the mammoth back is the right approach, but ...
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...

Bringing animals back from the dead.The article provides suggestion for teaching students about biology, animal anatomy, and scientific ethics through a class discussion about the potential of cloning a woolly mammoth found with blood and muscle tissue by Russian researchers, led by Semyon Grigoriev....
