I know, I spent most of my life helping them. How else would I have learned how to speak many languages fluently without ever having taken a single language course.

Zero actual Dire Wolf DNA.
A few edited genes, most of which were just to make them white for show.
99.9% Gray Wolf genes.
= Not a Dire Wolf, not even close. They don’t even look like Dire Wolves. It would have been more informative to sew a Dire Wolf costume and put it on a German Shepherd.

This reminds of NASA pushing the “Life on Mars” pseudoscience 30 years ago. You would think Time Magazine would have learned from that hoax?

Doing my best to choose a point at which the topic seemed to totally diverge.
