HoosierGuy Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 This is somewhat interesting. Scientists in Russia have discovered a plant that was frozen for 32,000 years and they were able to revive it. Perhaps they will find an ancient plant that could help cure modern diseases. Plant Dead for 32,000 Years Reborn After Discovery Deep in Siberian Ice - BloombergResearchers in Russia have revived a fertile plant from the remains of 32,000-year-old fruit that was found buried within the fossilized burrows of ancient squirrels deep in the Siberian ice.

FunkyTown Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Or it was a wondrous fruit that God knew we would one day resurrect and show How wondrous His creations were. I'm never convinced by the 'Messing with things Man was not meant to mess with' argument. God didn't say not to, and He for sure knew what we were gonna do with the rules that He set down.

Regrettably. Oh well keep looking guys! I would like some of those giant fronds but drat dont think Siberia is a good place to find them. Quote

Unfortunately there were no significant dna chains left that were long/complete enough XD Quote
