Colossal's Genetically Engineered Animals: Reality or Fiction?
Colossal Biosciences, led by Ben Lamm, claims to have made progress in de-extincting species like the dire wolf and woolly mammoth through genetic engineering, but scientists remain skeptical, arguing that these are not true resurrected species but genetically edited animals that do not fully replicate the original extinct species. Critics warn that overhyping such claims can undermine scientific trust and emphasize that traditional conservation efforts remain essential.
