There were Mastadons, if I remember correctly early Americans hunted them into around 10,000 years ago, though I remember reading that some could have survived much, much later.

A little smaller, but Alex there is still going to get his Flintstone size Prime Rib and a room sized rug.

Heck, I want to bring back an entire Pleistocene Hunting Park. All the Mega Fauna, Aurochs, Short Faced Bears, Smilidons, Irish Elk, Bison Latifrons, Panteras, giant flightless birds, Wooly Rhinos, and giant beaver.

Maybe, but I still don't think they would really be mammoths. I think animal behavior is more than genetics. Animals in captivity aren't generally released into the wild because they don't naturally know how to survive. A lot is learned. The best you might be able to pull off is getting some elephants to teach some mammoths how to be elephants.

They aren't going to walk like mammoths, and they aren't going to quack like mammoths. They're only going to look like them. And if mammoth steaks get popular, the idea of bringing back a species just to subject it to factory farming sounds like the sort of next level cruelty that doesn't wash off.

Animal behavior, including your own, is mostly genetic.
So, your saying it's not my fault or my parents fault I'm an asshole. God just decided, ya know what we the world needs is a darkly disturbed asshole that is 6'2 and well built.

Mostly. You still have an intellect, so you are responsible for when your genetic behavior breaks moral bounds. For example, women's monkey-branching, destroying their families due to hypergamy, etc., all comes from their evolutionary psychology, but it doesn't mean they lack responsibility for their actions.

Quite a lot of our behavior is actually genetic, including some of the subtle behaviors that give rise to specific civilizations, such as the high-trust civilizations of European peoples, or the high-conformity civilizations of East Asians.

No, I'm just going to trap myself in a pit trap with him. Then I will save him and he will be my friend.

Anyone see that crappy movie. I loved how they brought them back to life on film.

If you do this and had this Pleistocene park you would have folks lining up to hunt these things with bows, atlatyls and fire hardened sticks. Can't you see Jack Donovan and his tribe out there.
