It was an Ice Age squirrel’s treasure chamber, a burrow containing fruit and seeds that had been stuck in the Siberian permafrost for over 30,000 years. From the fruit tissues, a team of Russian scientists managed to resurrect an entire plant in a pioneering experiment that paves the way for the revival of other species.

Kung Pow Mammoth in Oyster Sauce.

Yum.

Regardless, this is pretty fucking cool.

I can see the creationists having a fit over this and potentially squashing good research, however... >_<

Pah! Cool, but... I feel like we have enough invasive species that we needn't be engineering more. I'm all for progress. I just wish it made more sense sometimes.

I'm not going to read that... can anyone tell me if the scientist did any more than thaw it with a blow dryer and put it on a damp paper towel in a windowsill?
