An extinct animal has been resurrected by cloning for the first time—though the clone died minutes after birth.
Findings revealed January 23 in the journal Theriogenology describe the use of frozen skin in 2003 to clone a bucardo, or Pyrenean ibex, a subspecies of Spanish ibex that went extinct in 2000.

Geniuses don’t exist in the present. Think of all the people you’ve met: would you call any of them a genius, in the Mozart, Einstein, Shakespeare sense of the word? Even the commonly called genius grants, from the MacCarthur foundation, shy away from actually calling their recipients geniuses. Most people throw the g-word around where it’s safe: in reference to dead people. Since there’s no one alive who witnessed Mozart pee in his kindergarten pants, or saw young Picasso eating crayons in kindergarten, we can call them geniuses in safety, as their humanity has been stripped from our memory of them. Out of respect, and worship, we allow ourselves to believe the 2% of our heroes we find superhuman is the entirety of who they were.
