Cloning the Wolly Mammoth

[Naos1984]

I didn't realize we had so many paleontologists on MFK. I guess Wikipedia makes you an instance expert this days with a degree and all.

I won't say that I am an expert. I am just an avid reader of anything when it comes to dinosaurs and ancient fauna. After astronomy, paleontology is always a topic that piques my interest. I spent my childhood days inspecting sedimentary rocks for fossils. Actually, it makes me happy that there are a few people here that are very good with this subject on a forum with a few hourly visitors. Some forums feel like talking to a wall when you want to discuss paleontology. MFK is really a great crowd!

Never knew that much about dinosaurs and wasn't that interested but this discussion is very interesting!

Bump an old thread.

Scientists activate(bring back to life) mammoth cells but warn cloning a mammoth is still ways off

Woolly mammoth cells brought back to life in shocking scientific achievement

Cells from a woolly mammoth that died 28,000 years ago have begun to show "signs of biological [activity]" after they were implanted in mouse cells. However, researchers caution that it's unlikely the extinct creatures will walk the Earth again anytime soon.
