Imagine a living, breathing dinosaur, mammoth, or Neanderthal. This is the story of science's latest frontier. 'Resurrection Science' is a global scientific investigation into DNA sequencing and bio-molecular cloning, to understand how scientists around the world are competing to be the first to rewrite the history of our planet and resurrect creatures from the past. Far from science fiction, three scientists have made it their mission to turn this dream into reality. From the labs of MIT to those of Kyoto, capabilities are here: it is no longer a matter of 'if' but only a matter of 'when'.

Debate with :

• Thibaut Martin, Director and producer (Docland Yard)
