    If we bring any animal back, I think the Dodo should be first. We were the main cause of their extinction both directly and indirectly. Apparently the Dodos, who had no natural predators, were unafraid of settlers to the point of trying to play with them. I have an alternate history scenario in my head where Dodos were taken more as pets rather than food, so different breeds of dodo arose, much like how dogs diversified. If some guy didnt decide to skip lunch that day, we couldve had "bird doggos". We were on the verge of greatness, we were THIS close!

Patching the DNA with other animals might give a stable genome, but the ramifications of all the biological factors of a multi-animal hybrid are almost endless. You might bring back a fast metabolism mammal, but if you had to add genes of say a reptile, or a mammal with a slow metabolism, then the odds of that animal surviving are low. And thats just Metabolism. There are a whole host of other issues with splicing genomes together.

    Yeah I was thinking the same about back breading, if you really think about it it’s no different than what people do with dogs, you’re not creating a new species as much as you are just creating a different version of the same animal. This theoretical quagga would need to also behave like a quagga and have some unique DNA, and it seems to be not that unless they somehow make a tightly controlled pack that somehow develops their own unique species?

    Those are only perceived looks. The behavior and function could be totally different. Caribou and domesticated Reindeer look very similar, except Reindeer are a little smaller. Reindeer were European Caribou that were domesticated 2000 years ago. If Caribou went extinct, that doesn't mean Reindeer from Sweden that are bred to be bigger that are dropped off in Canada would do well, they behave very differently and wouldn't do so well in the wild. Or just because you start breeding big burly people doesn't mean you've created Neandethal kids.

I agree with Darwin and natural selection. We need to save the animals that we have or that we caused there extinction like to dodo or Tasmanian tiger. I did enjoy hearing a different opinion than my own, that is how we learn and I can see your beliefs on this topic are well rounded but I suppose I continue to support my opinion that even though it would be amazing I think these funds would be better off saving the animals that face extinction today or that we caused that extinction.

    Ahh there it is~ Some freakishly tall ice-age enthousiast let slip you were working on this ;) Interesting topic. I can't say I'm a fan of the backbreeding approach personally, selecting for appearance doesn't necessarily mean the look-a-like will match the extinct species in terms of behavior too. Selecting for behavior rather than appearance (the other way around) might be the better option if you ask me; There's an ongoing project in Russia with the aim of domesticating foxes - they've reported that their foxes are starting to not just act more like dogs, they are starting to look more and more like them too, even though that's not what the researchers are selecting them for. I think cloning is probably the more promising of the two approaches, especially combined with tools like CRISPR+CAS9. They seem to be focusing exclusively on the nuclear DNA though, which I think might be the reason for the health problems you see in many young cloned animals. Mitochondrial DNA codes for some important stuff... The encoded genes play an important role in metabolism, just to name one.

Google's first result says 10,000, but, digging a little deeper one quickly finds this number to be inaccurate, while the vast majority of the population was gone by around 8,000 BC, pockets continued to exist in more isolated regions for another 6,000 years. For context, that means Mammoths were still alive when the Pyramids were built.

    ow please, migration is a force of evolution, this "invasive" species thing everyone is so afraid of is such a fraud! Cats, foxes, cane toads, scrubbers and rabbits ARE NOT DESTROYING australian ecosystems.. and Neither are Dingos! WE ARE tho when a new species come in an ecosystem, there are frictions at first but we know from looking at the fossil records that in the long run, it tends to produce more biodiversity than it has destroyed.. Give them 50 000 years.. And no, preserving what's left because of the actual biodiversity crisis isn't a good strategy at all on the long run, at least not from them; because unlike us, they can't destroy an ecosystem to the point of killing 99.9% of all life on it (like we do pretty much every time we settle somewhere or want to grow crops somewhere), they'll only kill off 2% at most and YES that's negligible considering how much the ecosystems can gain from their introduction on the long run..

    Really really need to bring back tasmanian tigers, the entire ecosystem in australia is not okay and foxes and domestic cats do not hunt the right prey to help recover from all the other invasive and native species being thrown out of whack. A LOT of work needs to be done to fix that area and literally everything wrong with the environment there is our fault. (...Same as anywhere.) It should be our moral duty to use science to protect earth, at least from here forward, and at best to edit undo the last two hundred years. They've been the most tragic years for life on earth in a long time.

    So the biggest motivation is guilt and feel-good reasons.

    I think its a very interesting topic when dealing with what humans have done to the world. We feel obligated simply because of our enhanced consciousness, but why try to convert the change that we have had on our planet? Like species of grass changed the world when they became the dominant plant, they didn't feel obligated to let ferns and other plants grow, and it created the world we have today. So should we feel obligated or try to revert some of the damage we have done to our world? Or do we accept the fact that we are changing the world around us and see what it leads to in the future?
