Don't be fooled - they aren't de-extincting the mammoth, they're making a chimera. They are editing the fuck out of the Asian elephant genome and plugging in a few genes from the mammoth in hopes of expressing enlarged tusks, some thicker hair, or something that might trick the public into at least thinking it's some sort of hybrid. The reality is that the genes they will be introducing are guestimations from their comparative analyses between the Asian elephant and the mammoth - in any case, they will be constructing the genes completely artificially using the nucleotide sequences derived from what little remains of recovered mammoth DNA. This company will attract initial investment from this folly, but they're just going to use the elephant - mammoth endeavor as a proving ground for public support. Their next 'evolutionary' step will be to pivot from these de-extinction experiments to human genome editing. The entire plan is laid out in this video.

And it is all getting started with the Russian family of scientists that are building Pleistocene park with currently surviving animals adapted and suitable for the arctic tundra. The way it works, is that the large herbivores, during winter, ruffle the snow to look for food. In the process, they allow the freezing cold temperatures of the air to reach the ground, without being insulated by a blanket of snow, along with the animals weight compacting the remaining snow, which creates and maintains permafrost, along with natural carbon sequestration. At ski resorts, a similar effect happens with all the skiing and snowboarding that compact snow, compared to softer drifts, combined with the grassland grazing ecology of large grazing herbivores, like bison, that are in the park, along with all the ruffling around of snow, keeping it from piling up too deep, while pressing the remaining snow with their weight. The whole purpose of Pleistocene park, is to rebuild that natural ecosystem to save the permafrost from melting, and cause a runaway feedback loop that could make climate change worse.

@@Leox27 I am hoping that for the North American context, the passenger pigeon is also a work in progress as previous videos suggested. Being from California, I am tempted to ask for the California grizzly bear to be on the list, (even if surviving grizzly bears are probably closely related enough to be standing ecological surrogates), once we Californians network wildlife corridor, and we accept them besides having it be the emblem of our flag. I have a feeling that grizzly Bears are more than capable of being vicious, pig hunters as Eurasian Brown bear are with California’s feral pig/wild boar hybrid population. Other than that, basic bear safety, and precaution from our rising black bears, in plenty of wildlife connectivity will be needed to re except our grizzly bears.

But woolly mammoths, for example, when extinct mostly because of climate and environmental change, maybe helped by human hunting. How can our re-creating something similar be constructive? They could never be returned to the wild.

@spazotron1374 6 ай бұрын

To my knowledge their extinction was almost entirely due to human hunting. The arctic circle is still a fantastic place for them, not too dissimilar to the world and climates they occupied prior to extinction. From tundra plains to Siberian forests, there is plenty of real estate in the wild for them. While their natural climate is much smaller than it once was, it certainly still exists albeit with several thousands of years of forward evolution after their extinction, which frankly isn’t all that much. In fact, part of the plan is to reintroduce them to the wild and sustain a healthy population once technological/intellectual advancements allow it

@notashroom 6 ай бұрын

Both Siberia and Northern Canada have suitable habitat for sure, maybe bits of Alaska, Greenland, and the southern tail of South America near Tierra del Fuego, and possibly parts of the Himalayas or Alps have enough of the sweet spot of temperature and forage to support a population of mammoth.

@huldu 5 ай бұрын

I don't think humans had a hand in their extinction, they were suited for a specific type of terrain/climate that changed and caused their end. While I'm sure there are areas where they might survive I don't think we should bring them back even if we could and the reasoning being our greed. They might not survive in the wild which means they'd spend their time in a zoo as an attraction, which is horrible. The only time we should ever consider bringing something back that is extinct is because if we had a hand in it and only then. I also fail to see how they would solve genetic diversity, unless they made them sterile and cloned them in a lab. It really sounds horrible, imagine a few million years from now when we're probably extinct and some aliens manage to find us, bring a couple of us back to spend our time in a prison for their amusement. To me that's a fate worse than death, wouldn't want to inflict that on anything that is living or has lived. Let me clarify why I don't think we caused the extinction of the mammoths, we all originated from Africa and the elephants aren't extinct. Then again many species similar to us existed and they no longer do and we probably had a hand in that. Should we bring them back?

The shape and size of the ears are very similar in mammoths and Indian elephants ! The shape of the head is also much more similar than in the African elephant. Indian elephants, when their frontal bones are enlarged, are extremely similar to mammoths. Indian elephants also often have more hair on them, especially when they are young, which is much closer to mammoths. And this closeness is seen in the genes. To get something as close as possible to a mammoth or 100% mammoth, the process should go like this. The egg cell and sperm of Indian elephants must be kept for 3 days in a different field of mild static electricity that unlocks ancient and dormant parts of the genetic material, namely deoxyribonucleic acid. Such cells should be combined into a fertilized egg cell of an Indian elephant, implanted into a female Indian elephant. The former can perhaps be enhanced by having the fertilized egg cell stay in the field I mentioned for 3 days, and it also simulates the once strong protective electromagnetic field of the Earth, which has been weakening for thousands of years. The electromagnetic field activates the DNA of the creature because DNA is the computer record of life, something similar to overclocking the processor in a computer, but in this case we are only restoring the original speed that has decreased. The Indian elephant born in this way will have prominent archaic features and will closely resemble a mammoth. In such creatures, through certain genetic therapies, parts of mammoth DNA that are not damaged could be inserted, for example by replacing parts of Indian elephant DNA in stem cells with the mammoth genome in DNA printers. Therapy with such stem cells will further enhance the features of the Indian elephant, which will certainly no longer look like it is from this time.

Hey Beth the ecologist!!! All your fancy body movements, giggling aside, let's ponder and talk Being an ecologist myself, okay, with the current extinction rates due to anthropogenic means, is deextinction really required? We are already struggling with the species that we have in several degrading ecosystems. With current and frequent habitat changes, do you really think substantial and stable habitat is available for WM, DD and Thylacine? Aside the dodo and Thylacine, the paleo climate of the mammoth is considerably different from the current( given the rapid changes) With the extent of global warming, pollution, habitat loss, invasives and such, could the mammoth withstand such behemoth changes Mammoth!mammoth! mammoth!!!!

@rypatmackrock 5 ай бұрын

As far as I’m concerned as a observer, that’s been educating myself with the videos, old and new; the larger context we should all be concerned about is the health of the entire ecosystem and how the plants and animals interact in continuity with their natural history. In terms of the woolly mammoth, there is an admittedly dated TED talk video I’ve been listening to, that argues that the woolly mammoth was quite adaptable, (or plastic as described in the video), during it’s time on earth. It migrated across the Bering land bridge, Eurasia, and North America during a number of glacial peaks, and survived on a few islands until they didn’t during the dawn of modern civilization. After briefly volunteering in Wolf conservation and exploring a new career path with the savory Institute, that also argues for the larger ecological context when it comes to agriculture and desertification; my views on the larger ecological context we’re affirmed in the process. For poaching, there is very much the possible need to enforce and update current endangered species policy, let alone have the breeders take cues from standard conservation that have helped endangered species rebound to a large degree with the newer tools available as suggested.

@IndoBrown 5 ай бұрын

@@rypatmackrock looking and educating with videos is one aspect. In the first place, the viability of the animals is questionable. The plasticity of mammoths in the past cannot be equated with that of the present. Remember endangered animals who are still out there are different from extinct animals and cannot even be compared for initiating the deextinction process. You are no expert in the field and what ever you are talking about are those borrowed from movie dialogues and the videos. So I would urge you to stop acting like a scientist. Volunteering bla bla bla reaches nowhere near to actual researching. I would also urge people to Not copy paste the ideas and findings of actual researchers and resonate them as their own One can always have their views and express, which I agree, but not in every thing. These days information is exposed cheaply in the name of “internet” and every one ( public) starts acting funnily. This is the curse of modern day innovation. Finally, you don’t and any body for that matter ride high with a couple of small betterments achieved in the process and act as though “ every thing is possible and feasible” Let’s assume for a moment, Even if the mammoth after de extinction, did survive in certain pockets, man does not have the habit of being quiet thereafter. A mammoth initiative in the name of mammoth tourism and what not would emerge. It’s all “ money matters” at the end of the day Man is too weird and you must expect the least normal from him
