poptech: emergentfutures: The woolly mammoth, extinct for thousands of years, could be brought back to life in as little as four years thanks to a breakthrough in cloning technology. So what makes species go extinct in the first place? Evolutionary biologist Beth Shapiro explores the influences of climate and humans in determining species extinction. By analyzing the genes of ancient plants and animals, she can trace the complex relationship between environment and the extinction and evolution of species and helping us make informed decisions about how to preserve the species that are currently under threat.
