Why De-extinction of Woolly Mammoths is Still a Bad Idea

September 16, 2021 / Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / 12 Comments

The push for de-extinction of woolly mammoths is a perfect example of when one notion can be both fun and a rotten idea. You can’t let the coolness push you down a bad path. You can see my new YouTube video covering the main points of this post from our YouTube channel further down. Please
