Scientists clone extinct ibex back to life

Ooooo exciting! Bring on the woolly mammoths!

This is some scary stuff!! Jurassic Park is on it's way!

Mammoths and Moa, I wanna see those guys soon. But oh noes, global recession? Will we still have the money?

I was trying to answer (question?) your immortality premise. I'm not sure that cloning is actually more a form of immortality than simply having your own children, after all they do 'carry' our familial genes on. Agree totally with your question comment, it is the only way that the human race moves forwards, we so often repeat the mistakes of the past because we get stuck in 'stand still' mode as its the easy option.

Agreed! But then, were we ever "on the rails?!" Showoff! Good question though. I suspect that at some time in prehistory we were much closer to the sprituality side but without the technology. There is a suggestion that some carved tortoise-shells found in China dating back approximately 6,000 years may, in fact, be the first written language. The first archaic homo sapien was thought to have evolved somewhere between 400,000 to 250,000 years ago.

Wisdom eh? carving on tortoise shells.. poor tortoises! not like they could get away in a hurry!! I don't know about that? That little guy in your photo is certainly moving, I don't know if I could catch him? Maybe they set Chinese tortoise snares?

I don't know about that? That little guy in your photo is certainly moving, I don't know if I could catch him? Maybe they set Chinese tortoise snares? Well, if they do, I hope they are big enough to catch bad men!!! You are BAD!!
