between Colossal’s approach and Jurassic Park; the details of
resurrecting the mammoth; the relevance of this work to human
health; the role of artificial intelligence; reintroducing
mammoths, Tasmanian tigers, and dodos back into the wild; the
environmental and business case for de-extinction; and other
