    That chestnut tree example at the end was a terrific example of how this kind of stuff is helpful.

    I'm sure you could find a lot of old ladies willing to knit sweaters for elephants, if you really want elephants hanging out up north.

    I still don't understand the simplest of questions. Why do it at all?

    Just curious. Did you not see Jurassic Park? Did you not hear Jeff Goldbloom say. "Just because you can do a thing doesn't mean you should do that thing? Do you not realize the Mammoth was selected for natural distinction? What's next? Actual T-Rex?

    Why not bring back Denisovan or Neanderthals? Why not bring Lucy back to life? Why Mammoths?

    @David-hp9tr That’s the prob with the world today. You think everyone cares about your opinion and you think you should let people know they are not like you and therefore that makes “them” wrong. If you don’t like something that someone does or says then let me give u some advice…. STFU. No one cares about your opinion. Gratz you’re a Karen Her presentation was fine.
