In her new book, Vanished, the history professor picks apart the political and philosophical dimensions of species loss
Would you bring an extinct species back to life if you could? If so, which species would you pick? Prof Sadiah Qureshi has taken to asking her friends, students and complete strangers this question because, she says, their answers reveal a lot about how we understand extinction.
Some choose a dinosaur, others pick a species like the dodo, killed off by humans. Almost no one chooses a plant or insect.
