Scientists are getting very close to bringing a few iconic species, like woolly mammoths and dodos, back from extinction. That may not be a good thing.

    It’s not that long gone. There were still mammoths around when the pyramids were built. Plus there’s still huge swaths of tundra and taiga that they could live on, with a lot of the same plants, even if it’s quite a bit warmer.

      In the grand scheme of things the pyramids were built relatively recently, but I’d still consider it quite long ago

        Measured in human life it’s long ago. measured at universal scales, it was nothing.
