recreating extinct species

[tommag]

A company has successfully taken genes from fossils of the dire wolf which has been extinct for 10,000 years. It's a long read but worth the time. They're working on the wooly mammoth and others as well.
Personally, this doesn't give me the warm and fuzzys. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Does anyone want pterodactyls swooping down and grabbing us?
