Cleveland 3, Granada Hills 2: Kaeden Riepl threw a complete game while John Orozco-Ortega and Riley Shapiro each had three hits.

That’s unsurprising, given its scientific pedigree: Church is a prominent geneticist, and the company’s chief science officer, Beth Shapiro, is a renowned biologist and winner of a MacArthur “genius” award who taught evolutionary biology at UC Santa Cruz before moving to Colossal.

Shapiro raised some of these issues in a 2015 book, “How to Clone a Mammoth.”

The biggest concern of the de-extinction community, Shapiro wrote then, was “to try to limit hyperbole so that our message could be heard by anyone who cared to hear it.”

Identity, as Shapiro points out, is both fluid and fixed.
