from an evolutionary biology standpoint… We’re basically on the order (and quite possibly worse than) of the giant meteor that killed off the dinos. Like, if you tally up the number of extinctions caused by humans, the Anthropocene Era is a mass extinction event.
Even the people bringing the “woolly mamoth” back are incorporating elephant DNA because the genetic samples simply don’t exist in any sense of integrity. Same for the people “bringing back” the dodo.
They COULD be evil aliens, but they didn’t come here for us. We showed up LOOOOOOOONG after they took over.
So we are the evil aliens then
Honestly, it checks out.

But we’re also possibly an asteroid that might feel bad and undo it. The asteroid never bothered to un crash into earth.
how do you un-extinct a species?

I highly suggest reading the Hitchikers guide to the galaxy. A theme along these lines comes up, but less evil and more incompetent.
