A conversation with paleogeneticist Beth Shapiro, the new chief science officer at de-extinction company Colossal Biosciences.

Just recently, the possibility that woolly mammoths may once again roam the Earth got a little more real.

By looking outside the typical funding path, Ben Lamm raised $225 million for the world’s first de-extinction company, Colossal Biosciences.

This informal dialogue contextualises and explores contemporary practices of nonhuman animal gene-modification in de-extinction projects. Looking at recent developments in biotechnology’s role in de-extinction sciences and industries, these interdisciplinary scholars scrutinise the neoliberal impetus driving ‘species revivalism’ in the wake of the Capitalocene. Critical examinations of species integrity, cryo-preservation, techno-optimism, rewilding initiatives and projects aimed at restor...

However, even though small populations survived as recently as 4,000 years ago, the time of this fur...
