      Yes, if we still had their DNA. Have you seen Jurassic Park? It’s pretty much like that. They’re actually talking about doing it with Mammoths… and Neanderthals, how weird will that be?

      Just to add to Hannah’s answer there is actually a team of people that collect DNA from endangered species. By collecting this DNA they have it available to bring back any species that may go extinct!

      Personally, I would like to see them bring back the woolly mammoth 🙂
