Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Dire Wolves, Dr. George Church & The De-Extinction Grift

They're terrible to their young. They like murder their own kids. They're just like crazy, violent, and dangerous because they were not raised by adults themselves. that knew anything.

They're just these monsters that got unleashed. And so they grew up completely without any kind of a culture that would teach them how to like raise their young. And as an intelligence, be like Crichton imagined this when talking about dinosaurs. Yeah. And George Church is just uncurious about it.

It's like, no, that's not how it's going to work, big dog. Well, and it's also, like, just even when you're talking outside of Neanderthals, we're talking about, like, the animals he wants to raise.

Like, a major story from, like, animal, you know, biology and whatnot in the last couple of decades is we used to have these beliefs about alpha wolves that deeply influenced a lot of toxic aspects of human culture. And then the scientist who came up with the idea was like, I was completely wrong. I was looking at wolves raised in prisons, basically, and they don't act like wild wolves, right?

Yeah. Which again, if you're just bringing back a dead ancient animal and it has no animals of its own type to raise it, how the fuck are you going to have it? Because his goal here is always for it to retake its original evolutionary niche. How would it do that? It doesn't know how to do that. What?
