A new prehuman race was discovered in phillipines today, as well.

I think there is a living population on lower decatur.

Thats kinda arrogant and mean..some of them buy my merch. Eh...They know they need showers lol

Willing to bet that if I time travelled to the future they'll have dinosaurs and wooly mammoths and sabertooth tigers and all sorts of shite cloned and in zoos
But what if the future is the past, and this is all just one big circle? And the dinosaurs we've dug up to clone are the descendants of the ones we will clone in the future?

I’m curious how they always seems to come up with an awefully specific number of years old. It’s either 42,000 yrs old, 1.22 million years old, 16.65 billion years old. Wouldn’t it be more believable to say between 30-60 thousand, million, especially billion?

Its just carbon dating. They are able to determine the radioactive half life of isotopes of the specimens they have. They know that if they have a certain amount today they can count backwards to a pretty specific date.

I hesitate to say that something is impossible, but this is almost certainly impossible. The problem isn't with our cloning tech; the problem is that DNA is organic and degrades. Based on what we know about DNA degradation, we might be able to fully sequence something a few million years old. 65 million plus? Not happening. It's like trying to determine the blueprint of an ancient building based on a pile of ash.
Off chance they find a preserved Dino trapped under a glacier in Antarctica, it may be possible. DNA is relatively stable when frozen as long as you limit the number of thaw/freeze cycles.

Unlike whole blood? Hahaha

They actually rely more on radiometric dating now bc carbon dating has been proven to be largely unreliable, due to outside sources of carbon, contamination, etc. But I digress, not trying to debate I’m just saying when you are talking about that large of a span of years, wouldn’t you think they would cover their bases so when a new form of dating comes along they don’t look like jackasses? Also wouldn’t they need to know the amount of C14 while the animal was alive to determine a proper half life? Or for that matter an age of of the animal? C14 is constantly being added, seems like it would be difficult to put a date on such a specific time frame.

Prehistoric horses could probably rape a clydesdale.
