Before humans migrated out of Afro-Asia about 45,000 years ago, Australia was home to a variety of organisms that had evolved in isolation for millions of years.
That's a good question. I don't know enough about biology or genetics to say how feasible that is. Though I'd imagine there might be some problems with it. For example, could we determine how that would impact the current ecosystem? Maybe it'd do more damage at this point.

I don't know much about it either. I heard of it first in a ted talk a couple of years ago. Apparently it's called deextinction now: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/De-extinction …

That's really fascinating. The argument that de-extinction might be used to help fix climate change is an interesting one. Pretty scary how good humans are getting at manipulating the world around us.
