2006年初,科学家宣布已经解读了猛犸象基因组的50％,这意味着克隆已经灭绝的猛犸象、让猛犸象重返人间的可能性又增加了一成。与此同时,以重现1万年前的史前生态环境为目的的“更新世公园”也在加紧建设之中,一旦完成,这些“史前公园”可以容纳许多濒临灭绝的动物,还可能会有被克隆出来的已灭绝动物,其中最有可能的就是猛犸象。 In early 2006, scientists announced that they had interpreted 50% of the mammoth genome, which means that the possibility of cloning an extinct mammoth has been increased by 10%. Meanwhile, “Pleistocene Parks,” aiming to reproduce the prehistoric environment of 10,000 years ago, are also stepping up their construction. Once completed, these “prehistoric parks” will host many endangered animals and may also have Extinct animals that have been cloned are most likely mammoths.
