Beth ShapiroAmerican evolutionary biologist and Chief Science Officer at Colossal Biosciences, formerly a professor at UC Santa Cruz and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator
Shapiro says the goal is not to replicate an individual mammoth but to engineer an elephant with the traits shared by mammoths that allow it to live in mammoth habitats.
“that is where I'm going to focus my energy in bringing back a mammoth, which will be an elephant that is capable of living in the habitats that a mammoth lived in”
