Dr. George Church is a real life Dr. Frankenstein. The inventor of CRISPR and one of the minds behind the Human Genome Project is no longer content just reading and editing DNAnow he wants to make new life. In Ben Mezrichs latest book, Wooly The True Story of the Quest to Revive One of Historys Most Iconic Extinct Creatures, Church and his Harvard lab try to do the impossible, and clone an extinct Woolly mammoth back into existence. Mezrich, author of the books that would become the feature films 2. The Social Network, seems to have graduated from college to a bioengineering Ph. D with his latest work, which is chock full of scientific explanation detailing every aspect of the Church labs efforts to rewrite the DNA of an elephant to look like a wooly mammoth. But Mezrich is even more interested in telling the stories of the people trying to make the mammoth a reality, dramatizing the lives of Church, his wife, Harvard Professor Dr. Ting Wu, their fellow scientists, researchers working for a competing cloning lab in Korea, and the conservationists at the Siberian preserve where the mammoths will finally reside. While at times his predictions feel too good to be true, Mezrichs prose rarely fails to engage. Gizmodo sat down with Mezrich to talk about a few of the themes present in his book, as well as the future of de extinction and scientific breakthroughs in general. Below is a lightly edited and condensed version of the interview. Gizmodo What brought you to extinct species revival in particular Mezrich Ive been interested in mammoths since I was a kid, basically, and Ive always been a fan of Michael Crichton and Jurassic Park, so its always been on my mind to tell a story like that. Then a couple years ago, I started hearing about Dr. George Church and the Mammoth Revival project, and I decided I just needed to tell this story. So I basically reached out to him blindly. He let me embed myself in his lab, so I spent a while just living there seeing what was going on, and just getting really into it. True Motherfuckers is a brand new incest porn site that is proud to bring you shocking, real incest sex footage submitted or sold to us by perverted, incest infested. Gizmodo An early chapter of the book opens four years in the future, when humans have succeeded in bringing mammoths back to life. What makes you think the project will succeed so soon Mezrich Even at this moment, right now, there are three prehistoric woolly mammoth genomes alive, living in elephant cells, so were on the verge of it. I was talking to George the previous night. Even though he doesnt put a date on it, I put the four year date, but he sees that as totally possible. The slowest part of the process right now is the gestation period of an elephant. Whether well have a woolly mammoth in three years or just be very close in three years, I dont know, but a lot depends on the money and on the elephant. The initiative is how they work on it, but it is feasible. Gizmodo Lets talk about the money. Thats a huge motivating factor behind the project, but it seems like the wealthy are the ones funding scientific efforts a lot of the time Editors Note The Church Labs Genome Sequencing project is funded mainly by private computing and biotechnology companies. Is this a good thing How do you feel about science funded on the whims of oligarchs Mezrich Well its interesting, you look at this marriage between incredibly wealthy people and science, and in some ways its a very good thing. You know, in some ways it pushes science forward.

Scientists do often have to turn to outside sources, and if someone like Peter Thiel wants to live forever, he needs to fund the things in George Churchs lab. So whatever his personal goal, its good for everybody. I look at it as a positive thing, I think big money has always influenced outside the box science, look at what Elon Musk does or whats going on at Amazon, Facebook or Google. Its very very wealthy people throwing money at crazy ideas, and hopefully we all benefit from it. Peter Thiel put in 1. Gizmodo This book and The Accidental Billionaires both had the protagonists receive additional funding from Peter Thiel. How do you feel about his involvement in particular in such immediately relevant work Mezrich Yeah, Ive written about him twice. Editors Note Mezrich also covered Peter Thiel in his book Accidental Billionaires In this case the way George tells the story, he basically ran into Peter Thiel, and told him about a couple of projects. Thiel said tell me your craziest projects, and he listed a couple of them, and Thiel said, the woolly mammoth, thats the one I want to do. Gizmodo Speaking of other projects, is Church working on anything half as crazy as a mammoth Mezrich Yeah, absolutely, Church and his lab are doing the anti malaria mosquitos, working with the Gates foundation, theyre building domes over villages in Africa and releasing mosquitoes that cant carry malaria, to test them out. Also, his student Ken Esfeld at MIT is working on transgenic mice to beat lyme disease. The goal is to release 1. Lyme disease onto the island of Nantucket, which is kind of a wild story. In his lab, theyre also working on the pigs with human compatible livers. Theyve a couple of pig embryos with livers that can be used in humans. Youre looking at the future of transplantation, which is incredible. Theyre working on projects to extend lifespans but the mammoth project and the ones with the transgenic species are the craziest. Gizmodo Do you think meddling with ecosystems and reviving lost species could have negative effects on living ones Mezrich You have to be very ethical and responsible because youre working with technology that is very powerful. The same technology that allows you to create a woolly mammoth or an extinct species allows you to eliminate a species if you want. You could eliminate mosquitos Editors Note Scientists are discussing the possibility of doing this with a controversial and speculative technology called gene drive, but that brings up enormous issues in ecology. I think bringing back an extinct species like the mammoth is generally a good thing, I think that the people who dont want Church to do that are usually thinking what does it mean for the Asian elephant population, which is endangered. But its not a zero sum gamewere not giving up on these endangered species. We now have the technology to bring back a species we mostly ate out of existence. Its like a karmic righting of a wrong, and theres been a lot of talk about the sixth extinction, species are going extinct all over the place, but the fact that we can bring one back is a huge moment, I think, in human history and our ability fix the things we were breaking. We have to live with our environment, but we also have to figure out ways to make it better, and if bringing back a woolly mammoth to help the environment is something we can do, its something we should do. We have to live with our environment, but we also have to figure out ways to make it better, and if bringing back a woolly mammoth to help the environment is something we can do, its something we should do. Gizmodo Church isnt the only one working to clone a mammoth. Theres also Hwang Woo suks Korean dog cloning lab, Soaam Technologies. Can you talk about how you got involved with them Mezrich This is a wild storythis is the story of a disgraced scientist. He was the one who claimed to clone human cells, but it turns out he had been forcing his students to donate their eggs, and secondly that his clone cells are fraudulent, so hes trying to resurrect his reputation by being the first to clone a mammoth. So, he has supposedly got incredibly preserved frozen mammoths out of the ice in the Arctic in conjunction with some Russians, and is going to use those cells to clone the mammoth. Square Enixs Library Is Full Of Games Worth Remastering. After the success of Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age and Squares announcement that Secret of Mana will be getting remade for the PS4 and Vita, its clear the company wants to see its deep back catalog live on, but there are a few games in particular Square Enix should think about reviving sooner rather than later. Beginning with Kingdom Hearts HD 1. Remix in 2. 01. 3 and moving later that year to Final Fantasy X and X 2, Square Enix has slowly been giving some of its best games an HD face lift or, in some cases, full blown reworks. While the company has discouraged fans interested in HD remasters of games like Final Fantasy VIII and IX, there are plenty of other games in Square Enixs repertoire that are worth revisiting but arent currently easy to access on modern platforms. Vagrant Story. Probably one of the best games on PS1 and quite possibly one of my favorite of all time, Yasumi Matsunos Bordeaux inspired dungeon crawler has some of the best characters and dialogue Ive every encountered. Prior to director Christopher Nolan using unreliable narrators to subvert audience expectations in a blockbuster, Matsuno did so in a super grindy JRPG. The Shakespearean influences in the game are clear, and hold up no matter what, but the games blurry fusion of pixels and polygons dont. They do, however, look great on high resolution using an emulator, which is why Im confident Square could do the same in porting it to current day systems or PC. Vagrant Story might not have seen the financial success of something like Final Fantasy VII, which achieved HD crispness on PS4 in 2. Xenogears. Another game that stands out among the PS1 golden era for the genre, Xenogears could stand not only to get a cleaned up looking port, but also one that slightly recuts the third act to be less text heavy and nonsensical. That said, the continued success of the Xeno brand is a testament to vision laid out in Tetsuya Takahashis original project. Bollywood Thriller Cartoons Toy Story 4 there. It was colorful but grim, and somehow combined Dragon Ball Z style turn based combat with hulking mechs in a convincing way. I also cant think of a better candidate for the new fast forward option Square added to its remasters with The Zodiac Age. The stories, characters, and boss fights are worth bringing Xenogears into the modern era, and a couple of small mechanics could help paper over the rest and make it easier to endure. Parasite Eve. The series only went downhill after the first game, but the middling quality of games like The 3rd Birthday have in many ways masked the expert art direction and body horror of the original Parasite Eve. It turns out that Square Enix could make a pretty mean Resident Evil clone back in the day. And like Capcoms horror series that it borrowed from, Parasite Eve isnt undone by its confusing control scheme or questionable shooting mechanics. Each wintery scene and virus infected lab is still just as chilling as they were in the late 9. Radiata Stories. The PS2 era didnt spawn as many classic games as previous eras, but the tri Ace developed Radiata Stories was one of the consoles rarer gems and more glorious gems. Navigating a persistent world where all the NPCs have their own personalities and goals, Radiata Stories was something between a classic MMO and Animal Crossing if it were transformed into a quest driven role playing game. If youve ever thought Majoras Mask is great, but what if there were twice as many townspeople to track down and help, then Radiata Stories is for you. Its also one of the last unreservedly great games tri Ace had a hand in, as evidenced by the sea of subtle sub systems that elevate character progression management from a hobby into an art. Even if the game were simply to receive the Star Ocean Till the End of Time and pop up on the Play. Station Store with pseudo HD graphics as PS2 Classic, it would be worth it. Drakengard. Yoko Taro has blown up from a cult favorite to a generally revered designer with the success of Nie. R Automata. One of the earliest games he had a part in was though Drakengard, an inscrutable precursor to the Nie. R series with a beautiful mix of art and music that was held back by awkward pacing. The mix of realism and fantasy, infused with the thematic dissonance of something like Neon Genesis Evangelion, however, is all there, and worth revisiting in light of Taros latest work. But unlike some games on this list, its less clear that Drakengards muddy textures and desolate gray landscapes could stand the test of time, making it, along with Nie. Rs newfound popularity, a better candidate than most for a complete overhaul. Front Mission 5 Scars of the War. While Square Enix has a number of B tier series, few have had such a tumultuous fall from grace than Front Mission. In many ways, Front Mission 5 succeeded as more than the just the sum of its failures, and brought the games many interconnected and overlapping storylines to a satisfactory conclusion. Not content to ocalize the PS2 game and bring it overseas though, Square instead commissioned the makers of Silent Hill Homecoming, Double Helix, to create Front Mission Homecoming, one of the saddest fait accomplis the companys fans have ever had to endure. Forgoing the grid based tactics gameplay for third person shooting, Helix managed to transform the gritty, melancholy war games into a laundry list of excesses and called it a day, all while the series true successor sat just out of reach until it could gain an appreciation from Western audiences years later thanks to fan translations. If Square Enix is ever going to try and rehabilitate the Front Mission name, it could do worse than by starting with remaking Scars of the War for English speaking audiences.
