Join Robin Hohweiler (Mr. Robin) and Mikel Mauree Robinson (Mikey-on-the-Mic) in the 49th episode of the Mr. Robin's Hood Podcast as they dive into the thrilling and controversial world of de-extinction. Broadcasting from the covert Studio X in Woodward, Oklahoma, the duo explores the fascinating news of Colossal Biosciences, a Texas-based genetic engineering company, successfully resurrecting dire wolf pups using ancient DNA from a 13,000-year-old tooth and a 72,000-year-old skull. The conversation heats up as they discuss the ethical implications and potential consequences of bringing back extinct species, including the woolly mammoth, dodo bird, and Tasmanian tiger.
In this engaging episode, the hosts dissect the science behind de-extinction, the criticisms it faces, and the notable projects yet to come, leaving listeners to ponder the future of conservation efforts in the wake of this groundbreaking technology. Will recreated species restore ecological balance or unleash unforeseen challenges? Tune in for an insightful discussion filled with humor, skepticism, and curiosity.
