That's awesome! :) Thanks for sharing! The flower's pretty. It's great that it has viable seeds, too.

....did anyone else click on that link, read where it was found, and immediately think 'Scrat from Ice Age'?  :D

Some people have been talking about regenerating mammoths -- I don't want my breath taken that way.

That would be fantastic, there would be ecological consequences though, needs to be treated with much caution.

Very interesting indeed.

Remember, your inability to grasp science is not a valid argument against it.

It looks so fragile. Beautiful.
"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

This is simply amazing. I know that it is still QUITE far off from this, but this just means that there is a possibility to re-establish extinct species of any kind. Imagine regenerating a cave man so that we could possibly exam what we were before we evolved to what we are now. There are so many possibilities to come from this. Go science!
