If two members of two prospective species of 99% similar birds are separated by ecological barrier that impedes reproduction those two birds become DIFFERENT species in zoological classification regardless of thier 99% percent similarity.Ī " clone" is not reproductively viable in the first place. One of the conditions required for two organisms to be the same species is the ability to reproduce fertile offspring. Would you say that each generation of offspring back then was a different species too?Įxact "copies" doesn't make something a species and you clearly don't understand what the definition of species is. How could exact copies - clones - of the original, not be the same species? That's even more exact than regular reproduction. Ok I'm assuming this was meant to be tongue in cheek but It isn't possible to bring a species back from said: Me: 9 (With something between us to protect me!)
Me: 9 (With something between us to protect said: I don't think animals should be created just as a novelty.Īdditional question: If there was no harm to the animal and nothing bad would come from it, which of the ten above would you most like to see first-hand? The only one where I could possibly see a benefit is #2, as an additional food source (if they were able to make many and they multiplied), though I don't know that we really need an extra food source.
My answer: I don't see the point of bringing back most of them, and wonder what kind of life they'd have. His quote was, "Is this how Jurassic Park starts?" What do you think? Do you see only bad things coming from this? Anything unethical about it? Kind of cool and exciting?ġ.Dodo- entire population killed for foodĢ.Heath hen- plentiful in the early 1900s, they were eaten into extinctionģ.Caribbean monk seal- hunted into extinction for their oilĤ.Irish elk- died out towards end of Ice AgeĦ.Moa (giant flightless bird)- entire population killed for foodħ.Aurochs (ancestor of domestic cattle)- died out in 1627Ĩ.Woolly rhino- made it through the Ice Age but couldn't survive huntingĩ.Saber-toothed cat- extinct after Ice Age 11,000 years agoġ0.Woolly mammal- scientists hope to bring back to life with a surrogate elephant I saw a video today posted on FB by George Takei stating that scientists have DNA and could bring the following back from extinction.
