Over the course of several millenniums, species have faced extinction by the hand of humans and nature. However, in recent decades, scientists have wondered if it is possible to bring back species that have gone extinct through genetics. Using DNA and protein coding, scientists have progressed to an era where what people thought was lost forever may just be capable of returning to a modern world. The ancestral genetic resurrection is composed of controversy in ethics, technological dependence, and composition of genetic data. While technology proves that creating past organisms is highly possible, behavioral and essential factors will vary from the actual species and the replicated species. This information is crucial to expanding the capabilities

The cloning process has already taken place with Dolly the sheep, meaning that scientists have already progressed towards a new direction within the field of genetics. What about the species that are proclaimed to be extinct? Scientists have found a way to bring back an extinct species of ibex briefly for approximately seven minutes, as “it was able to live with lacking capabilities for a short period of time” (Springer, 2008). There is also a widely-accepted method for resurrecting organisms, which is presented as a sequence of DNA being processed through other databases of similar coding on the same organisms used to call for similar strands of complementary bases. According to the figure in a study of genetic progression conducted by Berlin researchers showing a graphic that showed how DNA sequences can be synchronized with technology to create organisms as conducting parallelism in DNA segments is “a great tool for investigating rhodopsins” (Bickelmann, 2008) the organism being related in the description as being able to produce evolutionary results and evidence of cloning, allowing researchers to have control over the genetic data being used and the rate of data replication. By providing evidence that there is a possible way to replicate a species that has already died out, environmentalists and geneticists in similar fields can use analysis from these experiments to possible restore ecological equilibrium in some ecosystems and to present evidence of evolution in order to justify its theory by reviving organisms that show gradual resemblances to human beings. This can be seen in studies by students in the BioOne program, which is responsible for observing evolutionary trends with specific experiments and theories, saying that the information provided with genetic resurrection “...may be used to demonstrate evolution.” (Franks, 2008). They explain this by stating that significant
