caldrail Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 This is actually a distortion. When you talk to expert geneticists it's apparent that recreating mammoth DNA isn't exactly simple - you can't just expect surviving DNA strands to successfully replicate an entire animal. What is likely is spawning a hybrid animal - an elephant with mammoth characteristics - might happen a lot sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
