Reviving an extinct species may sound like something out of Jurassic Park, but the science of de-extinction is real. It’s not possible to bring back dinosaurs because they’ve been extinct too long and their DNA is no longer salvageable. But new genetic technologies enable us to re-create more recently extinct species like passenger pigeons and woolly mammoths. Thinking of Jurassic Park, you might think de-extinction is threatening, but bringing back certain species has benefits.
