The possibility of cloning fierce and extinct wild animals has always excited film makers. And they are not the only ones! The popularity of films such as Jurassic Park, in which a scientist clones several kinds of extinct dinosaurs, proves how the idea struck a mixture of fear and excitement into people39。 and thirdly cooling them so that they would bee sleepy and could be easily caught. I decided to use the last one. I bought an icecream maker which was made of stainless steel. Between the outside and the inside walls of the bowl there is some jelly, which freezes when cooled. I put the bowl into the fridge and waited for 24 hours. At the same time I prepared some icecubes. The next morning I got up early before the sun was hot.

I ain’t done nothing wrong by speaking to that gentleman. I39。ou take down my words for? How do I know whether 39。ve wrote about me!H: Here you are. (hands over the paper covered in writing)E: What39。 ere, cap39。s quite brilliant! How did you do that, may I ask?H: Simply phonetics studied and classified from people39。s garden party.

She39。t take me 39。t give yer more than a shilling.H: (ignoring Eliza and speaking to Pickering) If you think of how much money this girl has why, it39。ll say you39。ll need to be cleaned first.

You are an acute observer. We have found human and animal bones in those caves higher up the hill as well as tools and other objects. So we think it is reasonable to assume they lived in these caves, regardless of the cold.S2: How did they keep warm? They couldn39。ve been finding the bones of tigers and bears in the caves, and we think these were their most dangerous enemies. Now what do you think this tells us about the life of these early people? (shows picture of a sewing needle)S2.: Gosh! That39。ve discovered fireplaces in the centre of the caves where they made fires. That would have kept them warm, cooked the food and scared wild beasts away as well. We have been excavating layers of ash almost six metres thick, which suggests that they might have kept the fire burning all winter.
