It is only a matter of time before “Jurassic Park” becomes a reality. We are already living with the weird hybrid technology of Dr. Moreau. In fact, high school students from around the world compete in the annual International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition, like science fairs for prospective Dr. Frankensteins. What does that mean for humanity, as we have thus far known it?

It is hard to say, but the woolly mammoth may yet get a new lease on life, thanks to the paleontologists and researchers working to revive the extinct species in Christian Frei and Maxim Arbugaev’s “Genesis 2.0,” which opened Jan. 2 and was the winner of the World Documentary Special Jury Award for Cinematography at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival.
