Woolly mammoth and muskox remains displayed on Wrangel Island, where mammoths survived until 4,000 years ago This remote Arctic island is believed to have been the final place on Earth to support woolly mammoths as an isolated population until their extinction about 2000 BC, which makes them the most recent surviving population known to science.
Because mammoth DNA is a 99.6 percent match to the DNA of the Asian elephant, Colossal believes that gene editing can eventually create an embryo of a woolly mammoth. The eventual goal is to ...
The goal right now is to deliver the woolly mammoth calves by 2028, Lamm said. Some local impacts should be noticeable fairly quickly, but global effects to climate change could take longer.
