Science baffles the mind, again. For only $10 Million?

At least the effective lifespan for DNA isn't larger than 65 million years ago, right?

Everybody involved deserves what they get if this ever turns into some sort of catastrophe.

They also deserve what they get if it wins them some kind of award.

They could just genetically engineer a hairy elephant and no one would know.

Why bring back extinct animals when current species are likely to die out because of global warming?  Turn off the lights, everyone!

It's part of a secret Democrat objective to return earth to its prehistoric state, with a warm climate and dinosaurs and whatnot.

Dude, that would be epic. Imagine reviving the Neanderthal species? It would unify us all together. We'd stop prejudging our different races so we could all focus on discriminating against Neanderthals.

Why in the name of every single thing that ever existed since the inception of the universe is anybody even remotely considering resurrecting Neanderthals? That has sci-fi insanity written all over it.
