How to clone a mammoth
the science of de-extinction
Book - 2015
"Using DNA collected from remains as a genetic blueprint, scientists aim to engineer extinct traits - traits that have evolved by natural selection over thousands of years - into living organisms. [The author] argues rather than viewing de-extinction as a way to restore one particular species...that the overarching goal should be the revitalization and stabilization of contempory ecosystems"--Dust jacket.
