I shudder to think though what kind of a world it would be with everybody around you being a female!



I will tell you what the world would be like...More Jerry Springer episodes...

I hear them woolly mammoths are good eatings. If they could have been hunted to extinction by early humans then they must have been very tasty,

Modern human cannot interbreed with the chimp, this has already been tried. The chimp's body does not accept that.



Dang that must have been one heck of a party... I've been pretty toasted before but i've never looked accost the room and though.. hmm well ya know it is for science and i like how that chip holds the banana.....

*LOL*...

It could have good implications down the road, but i think they should start with something more recent , something where they have more DNA

Hmm i wonder what a mamoth steak taste like... I'd give it a shot.

Yup, and humans came very close to extinction about 70,000 years ago.

Most mammoths died off during the ice age, only a few small populations survived and they might have been killed off by humans in the last 2-3 thousand years.

You are right Sonya, mammoths's extinction has been extensively researched and it was concluded that the species started dwindling due climatic changes, howevers the humans were really responsible for their extinction.

Here is an article that proves that

Humans were final cause of woolly mammoth extinction

Do we really want to do this and beat nature at its own game? Nature does everthing for a purpose. If the wooly mammoth went extinct shouldn't it stay as it is instead of humankind messing around with it not knowing what the consequences may be?

More along the lines that there was not much else too eat.

They would most likely get their info from their own DNA, you know, primal instincts etc etc.

for example, we still compete for females, have the desire to spread our seed, we all still have our basic primal instincts.

but mammoths are one thing, if we brought back say, a saber tooth tiger, it wouldn't last because it would need a parent to teach it to hunt. that goes for any predator.

In theory, we should be able to bring Wooly Mammoths back by adding Mammoth DNA to an elephant egg. The elephant surrogate mother shouldn't have too much trouble carrying the mammoth/elephant hybrid to term.

But to truly bring the species back, wouldn't we need to make a bunch of these hybrids, from several different bloodlines? Then choose the ones with the most mammoth like traits and breed them together and continue doing this for generations until all elephant traits are basically bred out leaving as close to a true mammoth as possible. To make 1 mammoth might be do-able for $10mill, but this isn't really bringing back the species. Just a single example, and even it would be a hyrid, would it not?

As for doing the same for neanderthals....any volunteers? It'll take a village.
