Scientists have revived a worm that was frozen 46,000 years ago — at a time when woolly mammoths, sabre-toothed tigers and giant elks still roamed the Earth.

The roundworm, of a previously unknown species, survived 40 meters (131.2 feet) below the surface in the Siberian permafrost in a dormant state known as cryptobiosis, according to Teymuras Kurzchalia, professor emeritus at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden and one of the scientists involved in the research.​

Kinda happy for that worm, must be nice to be able to live out the rest of its potential life after seemingly losing the choice to do so ages ago

Seriously, reading that tweet first I was wondering since when does Serbia have any permafrost hidden somewhere. Jesus this US-centrism is embarassing.

 

[Moebius]

Imagine the shock of growing up with the video games of 46,000 years ago and then waking up to see what the xbox and playstation graphics look like today. It will blow its mind.

 

[Beanbeany]

Yo that was me and my crew. We put together a hardcore band called resurrecting the worm. Our single is out on apple music for you guys to check out. We worked harder on the track than actually reviving the worm. So its a real banger.
