Thousands of years after woolly mammoths roamed Siberia, a Wellington man has helped scientists take the first step in bringing the creatures back to life. In a Jurassic Park-style experiment, scientists from around the world announced this week that they have recreated the primary component of mammoth blood. Wellingtonian Alan Cooper, now director of the Australian Centre for Ancient DNA, said the breakthrough came seven years after he was first approached with the idea by a scientist based in Canada. Woolly mammoths are believed to have died out thousands of years ago because of climate change, but Professor Cooper said scientists were able to recreate their blood by using ancient DNA preserved in bones between 25,000 and 43,000 years old. The team believed a similar technique could be used to help reconstruct the blood of other extinct animals, such as moa. Scientists are trying hard to reconstruct ancient animals. However, is it good for human "for sake of"science research? Are you desire to see those animals?
