| #19 Nah, if we're hunting mammoths, I want a Ma Deuce. You can use spears if you want, I'll sitting with Ma, waiting. |

| #18 Where will we find spear chuckers in Siberia? Heh. As I understand it, the mammoth hunters used thick stabbing spears, tipped with a flint point. Freshly flaked flint is as sharp as a razor. If you have never seen a big Clovis point, they are a thing of beauty. The only mammoth I've ever been near was stuffed, but it seems to me that walking up to something that big and poking it with a stick is a fairly ballsy move. Bring a bunch of friends, if only to drag your trampled carcass back to camp. |

| #17 If they can pull it off, the Endangered Species Act is suddenly made irrelevant. Get the samples now and bring back later. |

| #15 That what I was thinking. They would last perhaps a week in the wild and then die from the common cold or something. |

| #14 Why not go all in and make them wildly carnivorous lovers of man-flesh. |

| #12 And they'll catch some form of disease that current wildlife have some form of resistance to, having been exposed to it for 35,000 years or so. |

| #9 "tweaking them to suit life in the Arctic" So they can be hunted by the vanishing polar bear? Wait, I thought gerbil worming was going to destroy the polar... I'm so confused. |

| #5 I was actually hoping for foam rubber tipped spears. |

| #4 Four foot long spears, fire hardened wood tips. Forty armed people to a party. Sell tickets of the video. |

| #2 The program — not the first to imagine mammoth 'de-extinction' — is being pitched as a way to help conserve Asian elephants by tweaking them to suit life in the Arctic. The team also claimed that introducing the hybrids into the Arctic steppe might help restore the degraded habitat and fight some of the impacts of climate change. Can't get no funding if you can't fight climate change. |
