8:58 Fun fact - this illustration is based on a real life find where two Columbian mammoth skeletons were found locked together - almost certainly mature bulls fighting each other. Each male had broken one of his tusks some time before the fight and because these broken tusks were on the same side when the two faced each other, they were able to get much closer than usual, resulting in them getting stuck together with their unbroken tusks. It's believed that, during the struggle to free themselves (to the point where one mammoth ended up impaling his tusk into his opponent's eye socket), they somehow fell together - one may have died and dragged his rival down with him, for example.

That's not accurate at all. The planet in general, and the Northern latitudes of the planet, began warming 25,000 to 20,000 years ago. This was the ending of the last ice age. There were still large populations of mammoth species on the planet. Mammoths being present in the Northern latitudes and Arctic regions of the planet, had no effect on the warming that was taking place on the planet. And it's laughable to think they could somehow prevent it. The rapidly warming Earth was the death sentence for many specialized species in the Northern hemisphere. The Mammoth Steppe, which was home to various species of large mammals, once covered over a third of the planet's surface. Due to the ending of the last ice age, and the steady warming of the planet, that biome is virtually nonexistent on the planet today. And had dwindled to virtually nothing thousands of years ago.

Regarding the ethics of mammoth cloning: Yeah, we should focus on living animals, but this really doesn't have to stop one from bringing back mammoths (or anything else we fucked over). Put bluntly, we can do both, and there's nothing that can stop that, provided the resources are made available (i.e., what you present is a false dilemma). This is especially as the mammoth can be hybridized with Asian elephants first, and these initially introduced, and cloning the mammoth might end up helping the remaining elephants. How? Well,. I think a little context is needed to understand whence the above premise (that cloning might help). This will, I hope, explain WHY there's a push to clone mammoths (at least in certain circles). So let's dive in! Some Mad scientist (in a good way) in Russia and his son have managed to obtain land set aside for an experiment, aimed to preserve permafrost. The thinking is that removal of at least part of the Taiga cover, and its replacement with Mammoth steppe (reconstructed), will reduce albedo and decrease heat sinking by trees (two separate phenomena, both caused by tree cover), and so maintain the permafrost. But a key component necessary to maintain the environment--the mammoth steppe--are the mammoths themselves: their job is literally to clear-cut the taiga (which the fellow blames on the extinction of the mammoths, not climate change per se). This keeps it from expanding back into the proposed steppe setting. As mad-cap as it all is, it appears the preliminary results are excellent. But it's very demanding to maintain (the guy currently has to use a bulldozer or three)--hence the need for an animal that can do it for us in a long term, sustainable manner, free of charge. Mammoths are just such animals. The idea is that the short term cost in cloning these fuckers, will be offset by the long-term saving of the global environment (and the inevitable economic damage), since it turns out we have more carbon in the permafrost than we do from our fossil fuel (just let that sink in). Carbon that is now starting to escape, as the permafrost melts. I don't know about you, but if that guy is right--and from what I've read, he might well be--then we'd be saving the other three or four species of elephants simply by combating the worst of climate change, by somewhat resurrecting the steppe. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pKuqps6GrLDDYX0.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f72en7OK2pnTpoU.html

De-extinction and conservation are not mutually exclusive. That's why I unsubscribed Dr. Polaris, because he is against combating climate change (and that would lead to an even worse mass extinction and further harm the civilization), and mammoth resurrection (or at least their cloned descendants) would either solve or lessen the effects of man-made global warming.

I've always found the "We shouldn't resurrect the mammoth, we should focus on surviving elephants" argument to be a bit... shallow. Resources for one are not necessarily resources for another, unless there's an elephant cloning program I'm unaware of. Breeding mammoths from elephant mothers wouldn't hurt the elephant population, either, as the problem isn't elephants being unable to breed - it's elephants being killed off faster than they can breed.

@@stormisuedonym4599 The only potential overlap is the need for Asian elephant cows (which are the mammoths' closest living relatives). These can be sourced from zoos. Every other fetus can be a mammoth (the other, naturally, an Asian elephant). A cow can be expected to have 4-5 babies; so we can--hypothtically--arrange that 2 can be "mammoths," and 2-3 be her own species. If anything, this is an incentive to improve the ability of Asian elephants to reproduce in captivity, thereby providing a stock of them for potential future re-release (a similar proposal has met with some success with tigers, beavers, and the Californian condor). Recent advances in making this happen for Asian elephants have been achieved, so this proposal is perfectly realistic; just improve on what we got.

Maybe we can Genetically enhance the Asian elephant with mammoth DNA and introduce it to new places... Still highly unethical, but might be interesting...
