    Deep in the elephant genome is a “zombie gene” that protects against cancer. Scientists hope it will offer a clue into how to fight human disease.https://nyti.ms/2MqU4Ac

        The selfishness of humans astounds me. I would hope they would pour all of their resources now to protect this mammal from human greed. Humans not cancer is their greatest threat. This headline may have just upped the value of the few remaining land giants on the black market.

        if it's true, maybe more people will try to protect elephants instead of letting them fall into extinction

        Then maybe scientists can find a way to prevent humans from making the elephant extinct.

        Another reason for saving the elephant from extinction aside from the basic humanity of it.

        Before exploiting more animals, we should start by stopping equating bad human behaviours to animals.
