Could extinct species, like mammoths and passenger pigeons, be brought back to life? The science says yes. In 'How to Clone a Mammoth', Beth Shapiro, evolutionary biologist and pioneer in 'ancient DNA' research, walks readers through the astonishing and controversial process of de-extinction. From deciding which species should be restored, to sequencing their genomes, to anticipating how revived populations might be overseen in the wild, Shapiro vividly explores the extraordinary cutting-edge science that is being used - today - to resurrect the past.
