Looks like super powerful computers are really bringing science of the past way forward. The latest news would be this one from National Geographic News. Scientists have decoded the entire DNA strain of the mammoth - extinct, huge, hairy mammals that resembles the elephants that we know. The scientists are also talking about the possibility (though still a little far fetched at the moment) of cloning mammals by using an elephant's egg through some complex genetic manipulations.
Maybe in another century or two, we might be thinking of cloning elephants, too, if poaching continues to threaten them.
