A woolly mammoth meatball has been created from the animal’s DNA — 4,000 years after the beast went extinct.
meatball has been created from the animal’s DNA — 4,000 years after the beast went extinct.
The dish is made of cultured meat, grown in labs from animal cells. It used the DNA of the woolly mammoth, together with fragments of DNA from an African elephant, which is the animal’s closest relative still alive today., made the meat by isolating genetic material found in mammoths that gives flavor to red meat and filled in gaps with DNA from an elephant.
The meatball started with an idea from Bas Korsten, the chief creative officer of advertising at Wunderman Thompson. Korsten also came up with the idea behind, a 2016 project that enlisted AI to create a new painting in the style of the Old Master. Vow is trying to create “entirely new food experiences,” said James Ryall, its chief scientific officer. “Rather than simply replicating existing products, this technology offers us the opportunity to create something truly unique and better.”
Founder Tim Noakesmith added that new technology meant that food no longer needs to be “the way we know it.”
