Jurassic Park?

[unforth]

Scientists begin to discuss realistic possibilities of using DNA of extinct animals to produce living ones - not Jurassic Park, actually, in that after 60,000 years DNA is too degraded to be analyzed with enough specificity...but woolly mammoths and many recently extinct animals like dodos may actually be replicable!

Heh, cool.

The closest living relatives to humans diverged 7 million years ago. Finding out what another hominid species is like should be pretty interesting.
