NUMBERS OF SPECIES on this planet I quoted were too low, and only represent those on the IICN Red List which have been actually assessed to date worldwide, out of the millions of species which have not been assessed (Endangered Species International).

SWARM INTELLIGENCE is not limited to bees, ants, birds, and fish, but applies to unicellular organisms like algae, microbes, and arguably, the cells within our own bodies. All have the ability to make group decisions about deployment and problem solving.

EXTINCT SPECIES FOOTNOTE: of the almost 45,000 species known on earth, about 17,000 (37%) are listed as threatened, and 905 as already extinct. The Mammoth is merely symbolic. This is not a statement of what we should do, but an observation. View in LinkedIn

DOLLY was a significant (and applauded) breakthrough, but that was nothing like the first creation of artificial life (Venter). Dolly the sheep was the first mammal to be cloned giving an identical twin (1996), and blasted the way for other species to be cloned. Mammoths will be next from frozen remains. Humans have not been experimentally cloned, except in the unusual case of the UK three parent embryo to avoid mitochondrial defects. But between cloning and artificial chromosomes, there are tools galore. View in LinkedIn

A-LIFE: The International Society for Artificial Life (A-Life) is now on its 14th annual conference. Only 3 years ago we had the first momentous Proof-of-Concept (Venter). From now on it is absolutely inevitable that more synthetic life forms will be created worldwide. GMO debates pale in comparison to this development. View in LinkedIn
