4、 imagine herds of mammoths running in great numbers.If thats whats in store for us down the line，scientists will have to find a predator(食肉动物) to keep the mammoth population in check.So naturally，well have to bring sabertoothed tigers back from extinction to help us cut down on our big mammoth probl
5、em.But maybe our sabertoothed predators might experience a big population increase，thanks to a plentiful mammoth and human livestock(or perhaps just human)food source.We could hunt them，but what if they turn out to be much more intelligent than wed imagined?Well simply have to dip back into the gene
