Extinct animals could be brought back to life thanks to advances in DNA technology - Telegraph: "The idea of resurrecting extinct animals moved a step closer to reality last year when scientists announced that they had decoded almost all of the genome of the woolly mammoth, from 60,000-year-old remains found frozen in Siberia.

Now New Scientist magazine has named the 10 other beasts most likely to rise again, including the Irish elk deer whose antlers measured 12 feet across, the dodo and Neanderthal man."

Seems to me we have plenty of Neanderthals. Try to watch a movie in a theater sometime.

I think we'd be better off trying to decode the genome of James Madison or Abraham Lincoln so we can get some decent politicians.
