Title: Scientists reawaken 40,000 year old ancient worms frozen under Arctic Ice
Post by: Redtunnel on July 11, 2019, 09:54:47

The nematode worms were found buried in the Siberian permafrost and are the most complex creatures to have been revived after a lengthy deep freeze.

Nematodes — half a millimetre long with a head, brain and nervous system — were resurrected by microbiologist Tatiana Vishnivetskaya at the University of Tennessee, US.

She said: “We were surprised and very excited.”
She estimated one to be 41,000 years old — the oldest living organism yet.

Sounds like a good plan. Let's find some cavemen next.
