Scientists Say They Could Bring Back Woolly Mammoths Within Two Years

Woolly mammoths roamed free across Europe, Asia, Africa and North America during the last Ice Age, before vanishing entirely about 4,000 years ago. Scientists believe a combination of a changing global climate and hunting by humans contributed to their extinction. Now a team of researchers is using the latest techniques in genetic engineering to bring the woolly mammoth back—to fight climate change. This week, the team’s leader announced that he and his colleagues are close to creating a hybrid mammoth-elephant embryo, and could do so within two years.
