Ambitiously solving extinction
How does it work?
Colossal will revolutionise history and be the first company to use CRISPR technology successfully in the de-extinction of previously lost species. On the journey, we will build radical new software tools and technologies to advance the science of genomics overall.
Through technological and engineering breakthroughs in biosciences and genetics, Colossal accepts humanity’s duty to restore Earth to a healthier state, while also solving for the future economies and biological necessities of the human condition.
Why is it needed?
Extinction, as it pertains to biology, is defined as “the dying out or extermination of a species.” This can be caused by a number of factors such as natural disasters, planetary shifts, movements of the sun and stars, human causation or evolution itself.
Of all the root causes of modern extinction, the most concerning and hyperactive factor is that of human causation. Notably, causation from the advent of human civilization and industry. This alone has created a destructive force - within only the last 200 to 300 years - that is accelerating extinction at a pace unimaginable across the entire 4.5 billion year history of Planet Earth.
How does it improve life?
At Colossal Biosciences, we endeavour to jumpstart nature’s ancestral heartbeat. To see the Woolly Mammoth thunder upon the tundra once again. To advance the economies of biology and nutrition. To make humanity more human. And to reawaken the lost wilds of Earth. So we, and our planet, can breathe easier. We are leading the new charge of bioscience. We accept the responsibility. And we can see the light at the end of it all.
