Biologists want to kinda, sorta recreate the Pleistocene era[*1] in North America:
Today, Africa’s large mammals are dying while the human population of the Great Plains is declining, they write. So why not restock with the cousins many-times removed of the very same animals our ancestors hunted into extinction so long ago?
This is an exceedingly silly idea. They’ll probably do it.
