The Dire Wolf Resurrection Project

This chapter explores the provocative topic of de-extinction, focusing on a biotech company's quest to revive the dire wolf through genetic manipulation of gray wolves. It addresses the ethical, ecological, and public relations implications of such experimental endeavors, questioning the motivations behind these bioengineering initiatives. The conversation also compares the challenges involved in reviving the dire wolf with other ambitious projects like the de-extinction of the woolly mammoth.
