Daniel Waxman Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I was thinking about my personal top four smartest people of all time. In chronological order; Isaac Newton, James Clerk Maxwell, Michael Faraday, and Albert Einstein. Unfortunately only one of them had children. Would it be possible to exhume the remains of these geniuses and sequence their DNA so that we could clone them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.C.MacSwell Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) Otzi the iceman, who lived around 5300 years ago, had his dna sequenced in 2013, after being found in a frozen state in 1991. https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms1701 Cloning is obviously more problematic.
