[frankensteins] when mammoths and neanderthals roam again


Here's the scheme:

Reconstruct the genome of the woolly mammoth from its hair, implant the DNA in an elephant egg, then, after successive generations, the mammoth would be reconstructed. Don't forget:

The same would be technically possible with Neanderthals, whose full genome is expected to be recovered shortly ...

So, we get back to the good old days of Neanderthals and mammoths, exterminate the pesky human vermin of the current day and hey presto - controllable, reduced population and a food source. How much would the initial step take?

Stephan Schuster ... at Pennsylvania State University ... estimated [it] would cost $10 million.

  1. If one looks at the recent Presidential race in America, the evidence for sexism is bountiful, but not from the men, but rather from the leaders of the feminist movement.

    Go figga!

  2. I can't wait for them to reintroduce the mammoth, I bet they taste great!

    Not sure about Neanderthals though, it would probably be unethical to farm them.

  3. I dunno, I doubt the neanderthals would cock things up as badly was we so-called higher humans have

  4. Wouldn't it be better to ensure that elephants don't die out in the wild?

  5. There's an entire history of archeology and geology that is being deliberately misrepresented here so that we only know what we are told.

    And that is light-years away from the truth.

    While ever this bollox is allowed to prevail, and researchers who speak out are ruined, we are condemned to make ongoing mistakes that will cause our demise, as they are doing now.

    Black is white, etc, etc.
