"Good
morning folks and welcome to Pleistocene Park. The tram will
be taking you to the Woolly Mammoth Range, where we will observe a
herd of over 50 mammoths brought back from extinction just over 10
years ago. As you all know, world renown geneticists from
reGENesis.com have made this day possible. I hope you all
enjoy your trip through Pleistocene Park, and remember not to feed
the mammoths or any other animals." The
mammoths were beautiful, although something just didn't seem
right. Of course, there was the obvious million or two in age
difference. Still, the mammoths seemed constrained, listless
and bored. Animal nutritionists and paleontologists from
around the world made sure that they were fed well. It's just
that maybe it's too easy. Maybe life for humans is too
easy. "Folks,
could we have everyone back on the tram, we have many more
stops. You don't want to miss the saber-toothed tigers, the
ancestral horses, the woolly rhinoceroses, or the primitive homo
sapiens." As the genetic structure had been mapped for hundreds of thousands
of creatures, I suppose scientists became bored and the next logical
step was to clone an extinct animal. Pleistocene mammals
provided some of the best genetic specimens preserved through
cryogenics and were just waiting for eager scientists and entrepreneurs. "Folks,
the moment you've been waiting for...the primitive homosapiens.
Look how cute the baby is. I could swear that one is trying to
talk."
