How cool is that, someday our grandkids might actually be able to bowhunt these things again like our ancestors did.

They survived in a much different climate than elephants do, turn a few lose in Canada or Siberia where there is plenty of room and let them have a chance once more.

Oh man!

I SO want to see a successfully cloned mammoth.

Congratulations! Mapping any genome is absolutely worthless science and contributes nothing...but, hey, nice work.

It’s like “Jurassic Park” starting to become reality. Crichton was definitely a man ahead of his time.

“biologists are hoping to glean insights into such mysteries as how woolly mammoths were adapted to their frigid world”

gee...I’m willing to bet a thick coat of hair and layer of fat would have something to do with it.

They probably taste good too.

Given our likely rate of regression under the Obama regime, our grandkids may actually have to hunt like prehistoric Cro-Magnons to survive.

Mammoths were not an Arctic species. If somebody wants mammoths wandering protected around the temperate zone trampling corn crops that is what they will get if they keep this up. Buffalo in the barley is one thing, but mammoth in the maize will cost big.
