And yeah, it's incredible.

I mean, it's really incredible.

I would say no.

We should still be concerned with extinction for a couple reasons.

One is

I mean absolutely this is a legitimate serious scientific field to like understand the genomics of extinct animals and there is like a small but serious enough science of de-extinction and it's feasible that some organisms can be targeted for serious de-extinction efforts.

At the same time, like a couple of thoughts.

One is like I'm not that optimistic that it will work, not because I think it's necessarily impossible, although it's not yet totally feasible, particularly for animals that don't have like very similar modern descendants.
