Anyways, here's some info about that if you are interested...the current technologies are just not successful at these endeavors. Cinema Science: Resurrecting Beasts | Inside NOVA | PBS |
There are people actively working on extracting and sequencing mammoth DNA from the recovered bodies. And there are people working on the technology of replacing the DNA in a near relative ovum (for a mammoth, it would be an elephant). The current technologies are not successful, until one day they are.
So, the race is on! Who appears publicly first, an ET, or a live mammoth? I'm betting on the mammoth. I don't disbelieve that ET will be announced one day, I just doubt it will be like anyone thinks.
Funny, last night I was thinking, these days, it will probably show up on wikileaks first.
We might find out that Assange himself is the alien!
