Can we define what this would mean? Yes as in 20 gene edits from an elephant is very different than yes closer to a wooly mammoth than an elephant

@ChristianDeAngelis3deb @Ivan I 2nd this. If the creation is closer genetically to an elephant vs a Mammoth, I don't think it should count. Can you please clarify this?

Would the same sort of "de extinction" as the dire wolf where a few genes are inserted into a distant relative count as de extinction for the purposes of resolving this?

The Return of the Dire Wolf

Colossal Biosciences has genetically engineered the first dire wolf to live in over 10,000 years. Here's what that means for other extinct species.

The Woolly mammoth could be brought back from extinction in just four years

here's a related market for betting on specific project milestones: https://manifold.markets/ASomewhatRudeParakeet/what-will-happen-during-the-woolly

Is a single individual enough? What will be considered as a wooly mammoth? Genetic similarity? Phenotypic similarity? Clone?
