Reviving an extinct species may sound like something out of Jurassic Park, but the science of de-extinction is real. It’s not possible to bring back dinosaurs because they’ve been extinct too long and their DNA is no longer salvageable. But new genetic technologies enable us to re-create more recently extinct species like passenger pigeons and woolly mammoths. Thinking of Jurassic Park, you might think de-extinction is threatening, but bringing back certain species has benefits

Dinosaur DNA is no longer salvageable.
Dinosaur DNA is no longer salvageable.
why is that?
The passage explains that dinosaur DNA is no longer salvageable because they have been extinct for too long.
i thought the .answer would be
We should revive extinct species because there are benefits
Apologies for the confusion. You are correct. The author's main claim in the first paragraph of section #2 is "We should revive extinct species because there are benefits."
pick one is it We should revive extinct species because there are benefits or Dinosaur DNA is no longer salvageable.
Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. The correct answer is: Dinosaur DNA is no longer salvageable. The author's main claim in the first paragraph of section #2 is that it is not possible to bring back dinosaurs due to the extinction of their DNA.
