How many years ago did I start predicting the cloning of mammoths? 10?
My question bad always been, why mammoths? Why not big bunny rabbits? Or giant sloths? Or Neanderthals with that cute little slot in their jaw?
Seriously: They would use them because their DNA has been frozen for thousands of years. It would be in much better shape than that of other remains.
They would have tried to clone that Ice Man they found in the Alps, except his DNA is pretty much ours.
