>What if that dream came at the expense of today’s Asian and African elephants, whose numbers are quickly dwindling because of habitat loss and poaching? Humans only had a partial role in the demise of the mammoth. When it comes to the dodo or the thylacine, I suspect morally it won't matter if that means less pigeons and dingos in the wild. They're removal from our ecosystem was artificial and by human hands and the culling of animals that took their place probably won't raise too many objections. On a more sci-fi front, I wonder about our future extinction. I wonder if aliens would later find Earth and try to revive us. Maybe this has happened, maybe its has happened more than once.
