Is a "Jurassic Park" possible after the resurrection of the dire wolf? The truth about the "de-extinction" of ancient species
By Uriel Blanco, CNN en Español Years of scientific research and technological development have led us to this moment: the biotechnology company Colossal Biosciences has managed to "resurrect" the dire wolf, a major predator that once roamed North America and became extinct more than 12,000 years ago. It's an incredible event that sounds more like the script for a science fiction movie. This idea of bringing ancient creatures back from extinctio…

Glenn reveals that the CIA has invested in the company, and he gives potential reasons why the spy agency would want to fund genetic engineering technology. Does the CIA want to create genetically enhanced animal super weapons for its own use? What about genetically alte…
