RE: Bring Back Your Dead: De-Extinction
Isn't the point of extinction usually indicates that a particular species can no longer adapt to the current changes implied on the biological environment? If that's the case, wouldn't it cause harm more than good to the species which is being de-extincted?
...No? The rules go out the window a bit during a mass extinction- it's best understood as change occurring faster than evolution or adaptation can occur, which is one of the reasons why species with short generations tend to do a little better during mass extinctions.
And extinction is about the maximum harm you can do to a species, so there's really no way to go but up from there.
