Clothing that cools? That will be a big hit here in the South.
I'm not sure why we would want the woolly mammoth back. It could backfire like Jurassic Park.
BTW have you seen a book called The Fifth Season won a Hugo Award this year? https://smile.amazon.com/Fifth-Season-Broken-Earth-Book-ebook/dp/B00H25FCSQ?ie=UTF8&redirect=true&ref_=pe_170810_207149920_pe_row1_b3_t#nav-subnav
Alex, I need clothing that warms. This year, it seems I've been more sensitive to air conditioning and breezes than usual.
Pat, I don't think it would work unless you also replicated the woolly mammoth's environment, and that would be much more difficult to do. And yes, I did hear about The Fifth Season winning the Hugo. I read that book last year, and it's got great world-building.
