This sort of thing has been talked about for decades (it was the idea that spawned the book Jurassic Park, published in 1990, after all). I look forward to seeing the results, but I have to wonder how much mammoth behavior in the wild was learned and passed down from the herd. I suspect that’s going to be a problem whenever scientists try to bring back an extinct mammalian species.

(Of course, mammoths aren’t going to be reintroduced into the wild so far as I know, so it shouldn’t be that much of a problem here.)
