Still Waters Posted January 16, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 16, 2015 "The ancient DNA reveals that extinct giant wallabies are very close relatives of large living kangaroos, such as the red and western grey kangaroos," said Dr Bastien Llamas of the University of Adelaide's Australian Cente for Ancient DNA, who is the first author of a paper published in the journal Molecular Biology and Evolution. The two specimens, Simosthenurus occidentalis and Protemnodon anak, have been radiocarbon dated to approximately 45,000 years ago. http://www.sci-news....laby-02403.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyko Posted January 19, 2015 #6 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Do they wish to clone this animal and bring it back? Certain animals went extinct for a reason. I think scientists should concentrate on saving the animals we have now instead of wasting money on extinct animals. Try cloning Pandas, Snow Leopard, Amur Leopard, Rhino, Western Lowland Gorilla, Sea Turtle, Tiger, amongst many others. Okay, rant over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
