Yum. I wonder if it has a wishbone.

The 40,000 year old figure has something to do with the breakdown of DNA components, so it's not just a figure thrown out there. Wanna see what the dwarf humans in the eastern Indian Ocean looked like? Neanderthals? If you clone another species of primate, is that considered human rights advocation? It's not a matter of when, .....You'll see. Here's something scary - Part of the research I did came across a rhesus monkey named ANDi (iDNA backwards). This monkey has the protein gene inserted into it's strand that makes the jellyfish glow. The phosphorescence is created by running a black light across his body, which in turn makes him shimmer like a thousand little fiber optic cables. Look it up,...freaky. He's a few years old now. Another interesting one is that the scientists have taken the protein gene out of several spiders that causes the creation of spider webs, implanted them into the mammary glands of goats and are mass producing spider silk from the milk created.( Spider webs have the highest tensile strength of anything that light)They're being used for sutures and body armor. Another freaky one is that the scientists have discovered the gene that makes the head of a rat, and have created cloned headless rats. Why would anyone want to do this, you may ask? Think about it, if you could clone a headless human, there wouldn't be any human consciousness, and therefor nobody would would be able to argue the whole human rights cloning thing, would they? Protein genes are easy to implant into any genetic structure. Wanna swim faster? Web feet are an example. I think I remember gills being a protein gene, but that seems a little far fetched. They could make us glow though,and learn to express ourselves with it. Hell, they already have fish for sell that change color to identify contaminants in the water, pH, and temperature. That just started this year. Look these up, it'll give you goosebumps. After that, you won't think cloning a mammoth is such a far out thing to do.

Or, maybe those cold northern climes just made people horny.

Mmmmmmmmmm Mammoth meat. (Drooling Homer Simpson)

Mammoth burgers, just the sound of it has my mouth watering.
Mammoth STEAKS, give me one three inches thick!
Mammoth boudan, Mmmmmmmmm.
Drive 'em over a cliff and "LET'S EAT!!!"

"Four brontosaurusburgers, please."

Gene for phosphorescence? Cool. Now all we need is to have that implanted in our genome, plus the gene for chlorophyll, and we can generate our own food!
