<p><b> by Jonathan Sanger</b></p><p>Scientists from Harvard are hoping to resurrect the Woolly Mammoth</a> – well, almost.

So don’t hold your breath waiting for visitors from the ice age.</p></p><br /> <p>The post Scientists Have A Plan To Bring Back Woolly Mammoths</a> appeared first on Vocativ</a>.</p>
