But if you look at the cutting edge of modern genetics, a provocative argument is emerging: the mammoth isn't truly gone. In fact, it might be on the verge of a spectacular comeback. The Ghost in the Code
Companies like are currently working to turn that digital code back into living tissue. Their goal isn't necessarily to clone a mammoth (which requires a living cell), but to use CRISPR gene-editing technology to "mammoth-ize" the Asian elephant. The mammoths, as they were called, were believed
"They are smaller," Anatoly said, appearing silently beside him. "My grandfather told me they used to be bigger. The inbreeding, the scientists say. The island makes them small."
