A Living Breathing Wooly Mammoth Clone In 5 Years
It'll be the first one in 10,000 years, if they can pull it off.
Michael Crichton’s masterful Jurassic Park series, other than creating piles of cash for him and Universal Studios, brought the idea of cloning extinct creatures into a mainstream fascination. Since researchers recovered intact bone marrow from the thigh bone of a wooly mammoth found partially mummified in the Siberian permafrost, there have been whispers of bringing the extinct back to life through the wonders of genetic cloning. Now, according to a team of Russian and Japanese scientists that will be working on the project, we may have a living, breathing mammoth in five years.
