I thought they did a live excavation of another mammoth on the discovery channel a few months ago.

Goto hopes that by using good DNA from an ice-age mammoth he will be able to produce a hybrid of a mammoth and an elephant.

By impregnating each female hybrid with mammoth DNA, Goto believes he can produce a mammoth-elephant hybrid in which the original mammoth would predominate in its genetic constitution.


There was a signature here... it's gone now.

... Is anyone else thinking of Jurassic Park? Not with the mammoth, but some guy finding ddinosaur DNA.. and being like... "Gee.."

anyone else think that the mammoth went extinct for a reason and that we are f00king with evolution enough as it is?

NecroPope = Ian Malcolm?

And yeah was in the latest PopSci...assuming you can find safely-preserved (ice, tar pits, whatever) genetic material, you could splice yourself up some zoo oddities. Example they gave was saber toothed tigers, but I suppose Mammoths are just as likely.

They went extinct because they were maladapted to the environment. I don't see any great problem in bringing them back.

yeah if we can create great big refrigerated environments for polar bears, penguins, and the like to live in, it's not unreasonable to think we could create a big fridge for a mammoth to hang out in.

If they could find a way to just clone tissues without degradation you could grow sheets of meat rather than whole animals.

The amusing thing is that you could really clone sheets of any meat once you get started. Cow, horse, duck, human, ostrich, alligator.

Buffalo as well. Supposed to be very healthy, tastes good too from experience. Yes, they do sell ox stuff out in Montana and South Dakota and stuff.

Anyway. Mammoths really aren't fit for current enviroment, so only really a zoo item. Might be useful for evolutionary research if they can string it out long enough to get an almost pure mammoth.

I remember hearing about that sort of thing actually been done.

Vat-grown boneless fish that was never part of an animal. I believe it's undergoing FDA testing.
