Mammoths could be reborn in 4 years
« on: January 14, 2011, 12:57:31 am »

Some overly dogmatic anti-palaeo pedants have tried to claim in the past that since it is impossible for us to eat things like mammoth meat nowadays, that there is no such thing as a genuine "palaeo" diet. However, if mammoths get recloned, we may well be having raw mammoth steaks within a century or two.

All this frankenscience makes me uneasy. Natures self regulation seems to be quite good with a single exception.

Well, at the rate we are killing off entire species, it makes sense for us to use science to repopulate the globe with formerly extinct ones. I for one would love for the Moa or the dodo or the passenger pigeon to return.

It's not that I disagree with this line of reasoning. I have a thing for sabre tigers. But there are so many things that can go wrong. Without cloning or anything, migration of certain crab species by ship are causing some serious problems. They eat everyting in the areas they migrate to and have the odacity to not even taste well. To reintroduce species into an environment that are radically different from the one they inhabited in their days may be a really bad idea. And to keep them in a zoo...well I think zoos are kinda cruel actually. I see the value of cloning, but I also am aware of our succesrate as gods.

I think if they clone them in 4 years, selling the meat to millionaires will be one of the first things they do...will be pricey though!

Selling the meat for science, not consumption! The rarity factor would be astronomical

If elephant meat isn't available then why would mamoth meat be even if this project was a success.
