"Pleistocene Park"? Don't laugh - with modern DNA technology, its entirely possible to bring back long-extinct species. Michael Crichton had no idea just how realistic it would be.

Michael Crichton had no idea just how realistic it would be. I sincerly believe that in my lifetime I will see a T-Rex.
Once Crichton popularized the notion that this could be done, it will only be a matter of time before someone does it.
Scientists will start easy with recently extinct animals and then work their way back.

Michael Crichton had no idea just how realistic it would be. With degrees in Anthropology and Medicine, I'm pretty sure Michael Crichton knows what was in the realm of the possible.

Well, it is a matter of scale.
A wooly mammoth is a near-contemporary --- American indians hunted the things, for example.
Dinosaurs and humans, in contrast, are seperated by millions of years.
