Description

The de-extinction of the woolly mammoth was a singular event in comparison to others due to the implications that have had its return in the ecology of the Siberia tundra, where it provided a fundamental link to reinforce the development of the grasslands, they in great amount increase its population in less than a century. Even in the destruction of the first global civilization they went on their way and even managed to colonize new territories in Europe and America. Many inhabitants of these regions tried to tame this species, being the most successful the populations where these hairy pachyderms had originally reborn. Descendants of those groups and tribes on Siberia that preserved their old way of life have become the tamers of mammoths, the riders of the great tundra dwelling pachyderms, using them as a method of transportation and cargo, as a source of food, clothing and even ivory.

---------------------------------------------------

So, apart from the complementary text that comes for the image I would also like to explain a bit about to which extend the genetic engineering on Earth would be in this version of TFIF, as at first I had planned to add this type of concept only for separate projects (posthumans, animal species adapted for life on other planets, etc.) and with only the presence of this in the project with the salvation and recovery of fauna and flora that are Endangered during this time or that disappeared during the course of the future timeline, without adding species that had been extinct prior to the last centuries like the pleistocene fauna, as well as the creation of artificial species, however I had a change of opinion considering the ability of our species to try and create, and in one way or another someone would try to de-extinguish other older species if we are able to develop the technology, as well as the creation of new life forms, and it can potentially have an impact in a spec evo future project. However, I would say not to expect a post-apocalyptic type world with artificial aberrant hybrids, dinosaurs or twisted mutant creatures running everywhere, but rather something more "simple"

In the case of de-extinction I took into account the limitations that this has, so do not expect paleozoic/mesozoic/cenozoic prehistoric park-esque type of scenario where one have any organism older than 10000 or 100000 years is returned to life, but many iconical pleistocene/holocene species like Aurochs, Woolly mammoth, Quagga, Thylacine, Dodo, Gastric-brooding frog as well others. In terms of artificial species I have yet to see how much more could be added, from what I have been able to think up to this point it has been a variety of species created for biological studies as well by entertainment that survived out of human care and became feral, including the Chickenosaurs, varieties of dwarf pigs, bioluminent plants, creatures with no clear affinity, etc.

In a way, it is just one more addition in a concept that was already implemented in the project due to logical reasons, and although it probably will not lead to a very high drastic change, it is likely to have an effect in these first periods that are going to be explored.
