i've always wondered how these plans to bring back extinct species intend to copy the non-genetic factors that made a species what it was.
early life experience learning from parents/siblings are essential for knowing how to properly behave in their environment.
That, and also how they expect to keep any species they manage to "bring back" alive (use of quotes because even that is questionable; the recent stunt with the "direwolves" didn't really create direwolves).
Which ecosystem are these species going to inhabit? How can we keep them alive when other currently existing species are at risk or going extinct?
