En octubre del año pasado nacieron Rómulo y Remo. Dos lobos. Hasta ahí no hay discusión. La polémica se abrió cuando la empresa que los creó, Colossal Biosciences, de Estados Unidos, anunció que eran lobos gigantes desextinguidos en base a ADN de restos fósiles y edición genética. Esta compañía privada de biotecnología, valuada en unos 10.200 millones de dólares, “produjo” a los dos lobitos en base a una técnica de edición genética llamada Crispr-Cas9. Unos meses se sumó una tercera integrante de la manada, llamada Khaleesi. Collossal sostiene que son lobos gigantes, que logró su desextinción después de 10.000 años de que esos animales no pisaran el planeta Tierra y muchos medios del mundo también lo comunicaron de ese modo. El marketing y los clicks se fueron a las nubes, pero pasan los días y crecen las voces que contradicen estas afirmaciones. “Son lobos grises modificados”. “Son lobos grises tuneados”. “Es imposible la desextinción de especies”. Estas son frases de científicos que, alrededor del mundo, contradicen a Colossal Bioscience y dan sus razones técnicas. Pero a eso se suma otro factor: el ético. ¿Es correcto “revivir” especies extintas? ¿Cómo impacta esto en el mundo, en la biodiversidad e incluso en los humanos? ¿Acaso estamos jugando a ser dioses? Los invitamos a entrar en este mundo apasionante del llamado lobo gigante, que desextinguido o no, seguro no deja a nadie indiferente. En La Mesa de Científicos buceamos en este tema junto a dos científicos, un filósofo y una especialista en periodismo científico: Juan Pablo Tosar, Daniela Hirschfeld, Javier Mazza y nuestro locatario, coordinador de las mesas de científicos, Héctor Musto.
¿Reviviendo especies extintas? La ciencia lo ha logrado: el lobo terrible (Dire wolf) ha sido traído de vuelta a la vida mediante avanzadas técnicas de ingeniería genética y edición de ADN. En este video te contamos todo sobre el revolucionario proyecto de desextinción de Colossal Biosciences, cómo fue posible y qué consecuencias podría tener para la biodiversidad, la ética científica y el equilibrio ecológico.

A biotech company in the United States made headlines last month by revealing photos of genetically modified gray wolves, calling them “dire wolves,” a species that hasn't existed for more than 10,000 years. Colossal Biosciences edited 14 genes among millions of base pairs in gray wolf DNA to arrive at the pups that were shown, leaving millions of genetic differences between these wolves and real dire wolves. This hasn't stopped some observers from asserting to the public that “de-extinction” is real. But it's not, says podcast guest Dieter Hochuli, a professor at the Integrative Ecology Lab at the University of Sydney. Hochuli explains why ecologists like him say de-extinction isn't just a misleading term, but a dangerous one that promotes false hope and perverse incentives at the expense of existing conservation efforts that are proven to work. "The problem with the word de-extinction for many ecologists is that we see extinction [as] being an irreversible event that has finality about it, a bit like death. The idea that you can reverse those sorts of things is anathema, I think, biologically, but also philosophically and ethically," Hochuli says.

I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we have a suggestion from Jayson, who wants to learn about the so-called “new” dire wolf. Before we get started, a big shout-out to another Jayson, or maybe the same one I'm honestly not sure, who is the youngest member of the Cedar Springs Homeschool Science Olympiad Team. They've advanced to the nationals! There's a link in the show notes if you want to donate a little to help them with their travel expenses. This is a local team to me so I'm especially proud of them, and not to brag, but I've actually met Jayson and his sister and they're both smart, awesome kids. Now, let's find out about this new dire wolf that was announced last month. In early April 2025, a biotech company called Colossal Biosciences made the extraordinary claim that they had produced three dire wolf puppies. Since dire wolves went extinct around 13,000 years ago, this is a really big deal. Before we get into the details of Colossal's claim, let's refresh our memory about the dire wolf. We talked about it in episode 207, so I've taken a lot of my information from that episode. According to a 2021 study published in Nature, 5.7 million years ago, the shared ancestor of dire wolves and many other canids lived in Eurasia. Sea levels were low enough that the Bering land bridge, also called Beringia, connected the very eastern part of Asia to the very western part of North America. One population of this canid migrated into North America while the rest of the population stayed in Asia. The two populations evolved separately until the North American population developed into what we now call dire wolves. Meanwhile, the Eurasian population developed into many of the modern species we know today, and some of those eventually migrated into North America too. By the time the gray wolf and coyote populated North America, a little over one million years ago, the dire wolf was so distantly related to it that even when their territories overlapped, the species avoided each other and didn't interbreed. We've talked about canids in many previous episodes, including how readily they interbreed with each other, so for the dire wolf to remain genetically isolated, it was obviously not closely related at all to other canids at that point. The dire wolf looked a lot like a grey wolf, but researchers now think that was due more to convergent evolution than to its relationship with wolves. Both lived in the same habitats: plains, grasslands, and forests. The dire wolf was slightly taller on average than the modern grey wolf, which can grow a little over three feet tall at the shoulder, or 97 cm, but it was much heavier and more solidly built. It wouldn't have been able to run nearly as fast, but it could attack and kill larger animals. The dire wolf went extinct around 13,000 years ago, but Colossal now claims that they're no longer extinct. There are now exactly three dire wolves in the world, two males and a female,
We discuss the basics of cloning. What is the story behind the dire wolf? Is what Colossal Biosciences created actually a dire wolf? What are other ways to do de-extinction? Why would humanity want to bring back certain animals? What are the concerns? Are there still biological and technical roadblocks to creating a human clone? Will there eventually be an extinct animal petting zoo?
Ben Lamm, founder and CEO of Colossal Biosciences, joined the show to talk about the science (and business) of bringing extinct species back to life. Backed by top scientists and investors, Colossal is using advanced gene editing and synthetic biology to recreate animals like the woolly mammoth and dire wolf. Ben walks us through the technology, ethical considerations, and commercialization paths, including tech spinouts and conservation credits. It's a wild conversation at the intersection of Jurassic Park and deep tech.
Scientists at a bio-technology firm made headlines when they announced the “de-extinction” of the dire wolf, a species of wolf that went extinct on Earth over 10,000 years ago. Colossal Biosciences examined DNA from ancient dire wolf fossils and used it to create wolf puppies with traits of the extinct species. The gene editing technology sparked curiosity around the world, and although the new wolves were not exact replicas of the originals they had similar traits. The development raises serious questions about what de-extinction really means.Mass extinctions have shaped the history of life on Earth, and nature has adapted across the millennia, but with almost half of all species already in decline, including some frogs, how seriously is de-extinction technology being taken?

Non, ce n'est pas un scénario de science-fiction. Et pourtant, en 2025, une start-up américaine de génie génétique, Colossal Biosciences, affirme avoir réussi l'impensable : ressusciter une créature disparue depuis des millénaires, le loup terrible ou Canis dirus. Ce prédateur emblématique de l'Amérique du Nord, plus massif que le loup gris et rendu célèbre par la série Game of Thrones, a disparu il y a plus de 10.000 ans. Mais trois petits louveteaux blancs, prénommés Remus, Romulus et Khaleesi, viennent tout juste de voir le jour en laboratoire. Alors… miracle ou manipulation ?Tout commence par une dent vieille de 13.000 ans et un fragment de crâne datant de 72.000 ans. Grâce à ces fossiles, les scientifiques ont pu extraire de l'ADN ancien, un exploit en soi. En comparant ce patrimoine génétique à celui du loup gris actuel, les chercheurs ont identifié les différences clés qui caractérisaient le loup terrible. Résultat : 20 modifications génétiques ont été apportées dans 14 gènes du loup gris. Ensuite, les cellules modifiées ont été clonées, puis implantées dans des ovules de chiens domestiques. Et ça a marché.Mais attention, ces animaux ne sont pas des copies exactes du Canis dirus. Comme le souligne la paléontologue Julie Meachen, ce sont des créatures nouvelles, génétiquement proches, mais pas identiques. L'objectif de Colossal n'est pas de recréer des espèces à 100 %, mais de produire des individus « fonctionnels », c'est-à-dire ressemblants, capables d'évoluer dans un environnement donné.Pourquoi faire cela ? Selon Colossal, il s'agit de repousser les limites de la biologie pour mieux préserver la biodiversité. En ressuscitant des espèces éteintes, ils espèrent aussi sauver celles qui sont en voie de disparition. Par exemple, ils ont déjà cloné quatre loups rouges, une espèce menacée. Et ils ambitionnent désormais de ramener à la vie le mammouth laineux d'ici 2028, ainsi que le dodo ou le tigre de Tasmanie.Mais ce projet fascine autant qu'il inquiète. Quel rôle joueraient ces nouveaux animaux dans nos écosystèmes ? Seront-ils vraiment utiles ? Ou risquent-ils de perturber des équilibres fragiles ? Le professeur Christopher Preston, spécialiste de philosophie environnementale, met en garde : « Il est difficile d'imaginer que des loups géants soient relâchés un jour dans la nature. »Finalement, la science montre ici qu'elle en est capable. Mais la grande question demeure : faut-il vraiment ressusciter le passé ? Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

P&C drink and review a blonde ale from the Brookeville Beer Farm, then discuss the process of de-extinction -- bringing animals back from the graves of history. Using DNA from dire wolf fossils from 13,000 and 72,000 years ago, Colossal Biosciences claims to have brought the dire wolf back from extinction. What they really did was edit the genes of a gray wolf to look a little more like a dire wolf. The pups -- Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi -- are white and a little large, but they're not dire wolves. They're just gray wolves that have had some work done. The project raises larger questions. Is de-extinction a good idea? Should we bring back extinct species? The boys discuss.

The American biotech company Colossal Biosciences recently made headlines around the world with claims it had resurrected the dire wolf, an animal that went extinct at the end of the last ice age. But does what the company has done amount to ‘de-extinction' or should we instead think of these pups as genetically modified versions of the grey wolves that exist today? Science correspondent Nicola Davis tells Madeleine Finlay about the process that created these wolves, how other companies are joining the effort to use genetic modification in conservation, and why some experts have serious ethical questions about bringing back species whose habitats no longer exist.

One recent scientific breakthrough set the internet ablaze: The ‘de-extinction' of the dire wolf. While many celebrated Colossal Biosciences' announcement, the experiment also sparked controversy throughout the scientific community — namely the ethics of birthing and rewilding extinct animals, and whether Colossal's dire wolf puppies are the real thing. Colossal's co-founder and CEO Ben Lamm joins Rapid Response to take us inside the dire wolf journey, revealing how the start-up attracted a roster of celebrity investors, and what the company's technology means for not only conservation and biodiversity, but potentially the future of human health.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Fancy Scientist: A Material Girl Living in a Sustainable World
Chances are, you've seen the headlines that the dire wolf is no longer extinct. The company Colossal Biosciences claims to have brought it back from extinction in the form of three living, breathing dire wolf pups.But my headlines have actually been flooded with scientists saying “not so fast…” so what is really going on here? Having studied African forest elephants using genetics during my Ph.D., a species related to the extinct woolly mammoth and a target of de-extinction efforts, this topic has long been on my mind to discuss on the podcast. Given the recent dire wolf news, I've been getting so many questions about this, that I thought it would be a great time to discuss this and prepared this episode as soon as I could (despite a myriad of technical difficulties). De-extinction is the concept of bringing back a fully extinct species back to life and as you've seen now as evidenced from the dire wolves, scientists are actively working on it. But should they be? And why? First, I break down the dire wolf headlines, offering insight into the scientific process of de-extinction as a whole, how the team at Colossal Biosciences approached de-extinction and why, and how most scientists feel about their result: Are these really dire wolves? I then open up to a larger conversation about de-extinction: why are scientists attempting to de-extinct species at all? Is there conservation merit in doing so? Which species are being considered? I address a plethora of topics as well as moral and ethical considerations. Specifically, I go over: What exactly is de-extinction and how it can be doneWhy de-extinction is so hard to actually doHow Colossal Biosciences resurrected what they are calling the dire wolfWhat scientists think of Colossal's dire wolves; are they really dire wolves? Why or why not?Insights on how scientists think about species in generalWhat else goes into a species being a species aside from geneticsWhat is the point of de-extinction? Why should scientists attempt it? Which kinds of species are being considered?My opinions on de-extinction: which species are okay to bring back and whyDoes de-extinction help conservation? How? How de-extinction can hurt conservation effortsHow the Trump administration is attempting to use de-extinction efforts to undermine the Endangered Species ActAnd more!Dream of being a wildlife biologist, zoologist, conservation biologist, or ecologist? Ready to turn your love of animals into a thriving career?
Doro and Tricia are excited to have Ben Lamm, CEO at Colossal Biosciences, to talk about his work in the field of conservation. Colossal's vision is to "make extinction a thing of the past," an ongoing effort with considerable progress. Colossal scientists recently ushered the birth of three dire wolf pups, a species that went extinct about 10,000 years ago. Ben talks about how the concept of de-extinction went from an idea to fruition, touching on the challenges and achievements it presents. He highlights different efforts and approaches to conservation, particularly as technology and human capability advance. Ben encourages listeners to think about their relationship with the environment, and how humans can preserve and protect it.

About the Host: Chris Clarke is an environmental advocate and the knowledgeable host of the "90 Miles from Needles" podcast. He is committed to desert protection and conservation, bringing decades of experience and insights into environmental issues, policy discussions, and activism. Known for drawing attention to critical environmental concerns, including endangered species and responsible land use, Chris actively engages with audiences who care deeply about ecological preservation and advocacy. Episode Summary: In this engaging episode of the "90 Miles from Needles" podcast, host Chris Clarke examines the much-talked-about claim of dire wolf de-extinction by a biotech firm. Chris navigates through the intricacies of this scientific breakthrough, unearthing the partial truths and sensationalism, while keeping a focus on broader environmental implications. Throughout the episode, Chris challenges the notion of de-extinct species fitting seamlessly into today's ecosystems. Drawing parallels between the dire wolves and other potential candidates for de-extinction, like the Shasta ground sloth, he discusses the feasibility and ethical considerations of such scientific pursuits. The conversation isn't just about biology; it encompasses the cultural and ecological dynamics that ground these animals in past and present narratives. Tying together scientific discourse and environmental activism, Chris highlights why preserving current ecosystems is critical for any species reintroduction success. Key Takeaways: The idea of de-extincting dire wolves is riddled with complexities, from scientific limitations to ecological impacts. Dire wolves possibly have physical adaptations ill-suited to surviving in today’s drastically altered ecosystems, calling into question their viability if brought back. De-extinction efforts are providing the antienvironmentalists in power with arguments to rescind environmental protection laws. The example of California condors serves as a reminder of the financial and ecological challenges faced in conservation and species restoration efforts. Chris advocates for a holistic approach to conservation that considers ecosystems' dynamic nature and the cultural knowledge animals pass down through generations. Notable Quotes: "Even if we grant Colossal Biosciences claims… the dire wolf is useless without its habitat." "The ecosystem that held the species and the relationships changes… they become, to some extent, new ecosystems." "What's the difference between that and releasing an invasive species into a habitat that doesn't have a niche for it?" "As long as they're in Botanic gardens, we don't have to worry, right? But it's the relationships that are important here." "If the process of theoretical de extinction is going to be used as an excuse to get our basic environmental laws…" Resources: Learn more about the podcast and support 90 Miles from Needles: https:/90milesfromneedles.com Hank Green's response: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar0zgedLyTw Hank offers a correction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jGFT2rnL8Y Ventana Wildlife Society Condor Status pge: https://www.ventanaws.org/status.html The Bernie & AOC event in Los Angeles (All 5.5 hours!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mU_GhbFH2Gw&t=11697s Listen to the full episode for a comprehensive understanding of the topic discussed and stay tuned for more insightful discussions from "90 Miles from Needles."

New breakthroughs with computers and DNA strands are occurring rapidly and raising the very nature of genetic engineering to a new level. This indicates how efficient science has become in creating synthetic biology. Colossal Biosciences is now claiming that they have cloned two Dire wolves. The dire wolf once roamed an American range that extended as far south as Venezuela and as far north as Canada, but not a single one has been seen in over 10,000 years, when the species went extinct. Could there be a relationship between Dogman and the Skinwalker? Will this be a precursor to a real Jurassic Park?

In what is likely to be one of the major science stories of the year, Texas-based Colossal Biosciences has brought the dire wolf—or at least something very close to this ice age canine—back from extinction, with the help of genetic engineering. The remarkable achievement has been met with awe, praise, and also controversy, as experts debate the exact nature of the "dire wolves" the company has created, as well as the implications of the breakthrough and the creation of what some might call life not as we know it. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we take a look at the remarkable news, as well as the current state of genetic science, and whether it could one day be used on humans. Finally, we also turn our attention toward popular science fiction and bizarre theories regarding alien life, and whether questions about human contact with non-human forms of intelligence might involve advanced genetic engineering.

Conveniently Australian researchers and U.S. company Colossal Biosciences announced a plan to perform acts of necromancy and bring extinct species back from the dead. These include the Tasmanian tiger and even a wooly mammoth. A long time ago environmentalists were actually concerned about clean water, organic food, and leaving nature alone. Now the enviro-necromancers advocate for genetically modified animals, plants, and humans, and are eager to defy God in resurrecting creatures that do not even belong within our time period. Others are resurrecting dead pigs with 'sludge' pumped into their systems like a horror movie.

If you want an ad-free experience, you can subscribe below underneath the show description.Colossal Biosciences has announced the successful resurrection of a set of Dire Wolves that have officially been extinct for 10-13,000 years. Time Magazine reported how the company can now “summon back species from the dead,” which “could prevent existing but endangered animals from slipping into extinction themselves.” Colossal Biosciences plans to birth a Mammoth by late 2028, having already in March announced it had copied mammoth DNA to create a woolly mouse,” which is admittedly a “chimeric critter.” In other words, as with the dire wolves, it's a mix of various pieces merged into one, i.e., it's a manmade creation. As Time reports, the company “rewrote the genetic code of the common gray wolf to match it [dire wolf], and, using domestic dogs as surrogate mothers,” resurrected the dead. Since April is the anniversary of the founding of the city of Rome in roughly 753 BCE it's all the more interesting that the company name their wolves after Romulus and Remus. One question is left unaddressed among the spectacle, magic, science, and obvious questions of morality or playing god: how do we define extinction or endangered. It's simple; the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), which once defined the former term as an animal not spotted in 50 years, now says an animal is extinct if there is “no reasonable doubt that the last individual member has died.” Better yet, these observations are often made not by the IUCN, but by citizens, as is common for bird watchers. The conservation status of each animal, plant and fungi species is compiled by the IUCN in what is called the "Red List,” which has over 41,000 species. And it is this arbitrary list which gives moral licensing and justification to those like Colossal Bioscences. -FREE ARCHIVE (w. ads)SUBSCRIPTION ARCHIVEX / TWITTER FACEBOOKMAIN WEBSITECashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.
In a stunning scientific breakthrough, biotech company Colossal Biosciences has successfully brought the extinct dire wolf back to life, using advanced gene-editing techniques to “turn on” ancient DNA within modern gray wolves. Dubbed Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi, the recreated pups are genetically identical to their Ice Age ancestors and mark the first of their kind seen in 13,000 years. This Jurassic Park-like moment has sparked awe—and concern—about the future of de-extinction, as the company sets its sights next on resurrecting the woolly mammoth by 2028.

The Denver Nuggets fired head coach Michael Malone, and now I'm confused. Will Nikola Jokic lose the MVP to SGA due to voter fatigue? Connery DeHuff has a spat with Macho Man DeHuff. Dire Wolves are back thanks to Colossal Biosciences. Ben Lamm is the founder and CEO of Colossal Biosciences - he talked with Joe Rogan about it. A woman in Silverthorn, Colorado called the police because someone was throwing dog poop on her lawn. But there's a logical reason this is happening. Someone was trapped under a restaurant table, so the police had to step in to help. Kawasaki is making a robotic horse for some reason.
Dire Wolves Are Howling Again—For Real This Time Nope, this isn’t a fan-fiction plot twist. Colossal Biosciences, a genetic engineering company known as “The De-Extinction Company,” has just announced the successful de-extinction of the dire wolf, the massive canine made famous by Game of Thrones. Using DNA pulled from two fossil samples and combining it with 20 precise gene edits to a gray wolf (the dire wolf’s closest living cousin), researchers have created a living, breathing version of the prehistoric predator. While not a perfect clone, it’s the closest science has ever come to reviving an extinct species—and it's officially the first de-extinct animal to walk the Earth again. And yes, it howls.
