State
A de-extinction technique, per Bio 3761, can reconstruct an approximation of an extinct species' genome, but its surrounding community, epigenetic development, and learned behavior cannot be recovered.
Show
A reconstructed individual released into a habitat that changed ecologically would face conditions never adapted to.
Watch for
"An extinct species can be fully restored," per Bio 3765, ignores that a genome and a functioning species differ.
