Scientists Are Making Incremental Progress To Revive An Extinct Giant Species
Scientists are progressing with an ambitious endeavor to genetically engineer a modern version of the woolly mammoth, an ancient creature lost 4,000 years ago. The ultimate aim is to produce a hybrid resembling its ancestor, capable of integrating into the Arctic tundra to aid ecosystem restoration. Spearheaded by Harvard geneticist George Church, the initiative gained momentum in 2021 with the founding of Colossal Biosciences and substantial financial backing.
