Summary

In what is likely to be one of the major science stories of the year, Texas-based Colossal Biosciences has brought the dire wolf—or at least something very close to this ice age canine—back from extinction, with the help of genetic engineering. The remarkable achievement has been met with awe, praise, and also controversy, as experts debate the exact nature of the "dire wolves" the company has created, as well as the implications of the breakthrough and the creation of what some might call life not as we know it.  

This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we take a look at the remarkable news, as well as the current state of genetic science, and whether it could one day be used on humans. Finally, we also turn our attention toward popular science fiction and bizarre theories regarding alien life, and whether questions about human contact with non-human forms of intelligence might involve advanced genetic engineering.

The American people are becoming most interested and, in many instances, very alarmed by the UFO stories.

So why do you suppose that all of this has been

kept from the world? Exploring our past, our future, and the mysteries of our universe. Where do they

How are you? I hope everybody's doing great. Welcome, welcome. And of course, we've always

got a lot to cover here. That is no less the case this week. Because in this installment of our

1:18.5

we have some very unique perspectives on all of that, and a question that has been on my mind.

1:24.7

How might we encounter life, rather than as we know it in the search for

1:30.8

extraterrestrial life and other life forms may be right here on earth? What circumstances might lead

1:36.9

us to encounters with life not as we know it? As usual, I've got a lot of ideas on this. We'll

get into that here in a bit.

First, of course, those of you out there who dare to look at the news and dare to actually see what's
