They're bringing back ancient species?

---

Cool. Yo.

But what about the viruses in their DNA tho?

What about the bacterium that’s been asleep for 30 million winters just waiting for a warm-blooded host to blink?

What about the fungal spores that survived past extinction because they never needed a goddamn heartbeat-- just moisture and arrogance?

What about the prions that twist reality like cancer learned how to hallucinate? Sickness that doesn’t rot your body-- but your self.

You think the mammoth’s fur is the problem? The claws on the saber-tooth? The hunger in the cave bear?

No.

It’s the code underneath the muscle. It’s the dormant memories in the marrow. It’s the ancient grief programs sitting in their virome like resurrection spells.

The body is just the meat. The real danger is what's whispering inside the blood. Forgotten instructions. Time-locked commands. Microscopic ghosts waiting for a signal.

Bring back the body— but you bring back the curse.

And curses don't expire. They evolve.

Your scientists want to play necromancer? Fine. But don’t act surprised when your lungs collapse from a flu we forgot how to spell.

Or when the blood starts boiling because some prehistoric immune response thinks you’re the invader.

Or when you cough up language you never learned-- because a virus woke up singing in the back of your brain.

But sure. Bring them back. Bring them all back.

Just don’t forget: Nothing that sleeps that long comes back the same.

The Thaw Was Not Natural

The first samples came out of the permafrost cleanly, which should have been the warning. They were older than agriculture. Older than cities. Older than writing. Trapped in ice laid down before memory, before myth, before the idea that the world could be otherwise than it was. The cores were drilled, cataloged, warmed by careful degrees, and what woke was not rot or decay, but structure—simple,…

Ancient 'Giant Virus' Found Alive In Siberian Permafrost - But Let's Continue Ignoring Climate Change

Ancient ‘Giant Virus’ Found Alive In Siberian Permafrost – But Let’s Continue Ignoring Climate Change

Although the ancient “giant virus” called a pithovirus found alive in the permafrost of Siberia does not pose a direct threat to humans (this time), the discovery of the virus by Jean-Michel Claverieand

P. sibericum is, on the scale of viruses, a giant – it has 500 genes, whereas the influenza virus has only 8. It is the first in a new category of viral whoppers, a family known as Megaviridae, for which two other categories already exist. Unlike the flu virus, though, P. sibericum is harmless to humans and animals, for it only infects a type of amoeba called Acanthamoeba, the researchers said. The work shows that viruses can survive being locked up in the permafrost for extremely long periods, France's National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) said in a press statement. "It has important implications for public-health risks in connection with exploiting mineral or energy resources in Arctic Circle regions that are becoming more and more accessible through global warming," it said.

Giant 30,000 year old virus resurrected from Siberian permafrost

In what could be the opening scene to a science fiction movie, French scientists have thawed and reactivated a 30,000 year old giant virus from the Siberian permafrost.

Luckily the pithovirus only attacks amoebas, but researchers warn that as exploration and development of the polar regions increase, it is possible that we may come…
