Colossal Chief Science Officer Beth Shapiro, Ph.D., spoke at Fortune Brainstorm Tech about how de-extinction technology is revolutionizing biodiversity.

Figuring out what this creature’s face actually looked like would take paleontologists years. But understanding this weird animal can help us shine a light on at least one way for ecosystems to bounce back from even the worst mass extinction.

It arose from rhino ancestors that were a lot smaller, but Paraceratherium would take a different evolutionary path. Believe it or not, it actually became so big that it probably got close to what scientists think might be the actual upper limit for a lan...
