      No, I wish! This would be quite difficult to do, but probably not impossible! The one thing a lot of people do is extract DNA samples from really old bones or hair from extinct animals and try to analyse them. This way people found out that Neanderthals, which were quite a lot like early humans, probably had red hair. I think that’s quite cool 🙂
