Return of the Mammoth: Cloning, Genetic Miracle, or Fake?

In 2025, the whole world discussed the news: in Texas, animals extinct for ten thousand years — mammoths — were "resurrected" and named Romulus, Remus, and Khkalisi.

Headlines were filled with the word "resurrection" — is this science fiction or reality? Why does the company promise that by 2028 a living mammoth calf might appear?

The lecture will explore how ancient DNA from permafrost and CRISPR technology allow gene editing in living species — and why the project's lead scientist honestly called the "resurrected" wolf a "gray wolf with two edits."
