Woolly Mammoth MOUSE created

Woolly mammoths still lived 1,000 years ago: 15 Facts About the Elephants (pinterest.com)

(AP 2013) Russian scientists find [not very old] frozen mammoth carcass with LIQUID blood

Woolly Mammoth could make a comeback after huge DNA progress

These mice might be the key to reviving woolly mammoths

This squeaker might be called Frankenmouse

A regular mouse sits near a genetically modified woolly mouse. The latter has been genetically modified to have the longer, golden hair, and fat stores of a woolly mammoth.

Who is responsible for this DNA monstrosity? Colossal Biosciences (colossal.com). We've all heard of the woolly mammoth. But how many have heard of the new woolly mouse?

This chimera was genetically modified by the Dallas-based biotech company Colossal to have the same "woolly" fur and fat appearance as the ancient elephants known as mammoths. Why would a corporation create a genetic chimera?

Human language gene inserted into mice led to some bizarre effects

Let's CRISPR this mutation in and ask them how they feel about it.

• Let's talk about the Woolly Mammoth Mice that were just created

The mouse, Colossal says, is a key step in the longer venture to de-extinct the original woolly mammoth. NPR's Rob Stein takes us to the Frankensteinian lab where it all happened. (Will it come with a GMO label if scientists decide to eat them?) More: Short Wave: NPR

• VIDEO: Russians find woolly mammoth carcass with liquid blood (Associated Press) May 30, 2013: Russian researchers say they have discovered a perfectly preserved woolly mammoth carcass with liquid blood on a remote Arctic island, fueling hopes of cloning the Ice Age animal. Hopes of making it de-extinct are nothing new. [Blend this un-freezable blood with a DNA contribution from a well-mannered modern Asian elephant and shazam.]

People in Americas 130K ago (G. Hancock)

Proof of Great American Flood and more

(History Drops) There were humans here at least 130,000 years ago. Did civilization begin in the Americas thousands of years before Sumer, which was only 6,000 years ago? Graham Hancock presents America Before: The Key to Earth's Lost Civilization, Part 3 of 3, in Graham's hometown, Bath, England, in 2019. Here he presents highlights from his famous 2019 bestselling book, America Before was a New York Times Top 10 nonfiction bestseller. #grahamhancock #science #history #geology

America Before: The Key to Earth's Lost Civilization

(Audible Logo) Graham Hancock is the author and narrator in this Macmillan Audio. It has 4.7 out of 5 stars with 3,884 ratings. Was an advanced civilization lost to history in the global cataclysm that ended the last Ice Age?

Graham Hancock, the internationally best-selling author, has made it his life's work to find out. In America Before, he draws on the latest archeological and DNA evidence to bring his quest to a stunning culmination.

We’ve been taught that North and South America were empty of humans until around 13,000 years ago -- among the last great landmasses on earth to have been settled by our ancestors (the Clovis people).

But new discoveries have radically reshaped this long-established [and gatekeepers at the university enforced] picture, and we now know that the Americas were first peopled more than 130,000 years ago -- many tens of thousands of years before human settlements became established elsewhere.

Hancock's research takes us on a series of journeys and encounters with the daring scientists [who dared to defy the gatekeepers and status quo] responsible for the recent extraordinary breakthroughs.

In the process, from the Mississippi Valley to the Amazon Rainforest, he reveals that ancient "New World" cultures share a legacy of advanced scientific knowledge [likely gifted to them by the Star People] and sophisticated spiritual beliefs with supposedly unconnected "Old World" cultures.

Have archeologists focused for too long only on the "Old World" in their search for the origins of civilization while failing to consider the revolutionary possibility that those origins might in fact be found in the "New World"?

America Before is the culmination of everything that millions of people have loved in his body of work over the past decades, namely a mind-dilating exploration of the mysteries of the past, amazing archeological discoveries, and profound implications for how we lead our lives today. More
