Journey to the Fringe

Fringey Mini: Things are getting Dire


Listen Later

In this howlingly strange mini, we sink our teeth into the buzz around Colossal Biosciences' claim that they’ve resurrected the dire wolf—yes, the same fang-faced legends from Game of Thrones. But are these snow-white pups really ancient predators reborn, or just very expensive cosplay wolves? We sniff out the science behind gene editing, prehistoric DNA, and some eyebrow-raising semantics as scientists clash over whether Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi are breakthroughs in de-extinction—or just glorified gray wolves with a dramatic backstory. Spoiler alert: evolution is messier than your average family tree.
