- ig1 11y agoIf they're in the same genus presumably the same CRISPR approach that's being used to inject Wooly Mammoth genes into Elephants can apply ?
- yellowapple 11y agoPlease let me know when we actually have resurrected the Wooly Mammoth; I can't wait to try a mammoth steak.
- eru 11y agoDNA's half-life is too short.
- RogtamBar 11y agoRe-constructing neanderthals has been suggested as being perfectly viable..
- kuschku 11y agoDNA decomposes very quickly. It's half-life is 521 years. Even in best case, DNA becomes unreadable in 1.5 million years. While Neanderthals lived 38k years ago, this species lived ~ 3 million years ago. Reconstructing this species is practically impossible.
