Worst that there are also unknown Virus and Bacteria found in the Permafrost, which are also defrosted with the Climate change. A lot are also still life..
Although, most likely less-evolved hence less-threathening than the current virus and bacterias.
Is the saber toothed tiger less threatening than the common house cat ?
Yes, saber toothed tiger can't manipulate humans.
It'd have a fair go at manipulating your arm off your torso given the chance.
If it can't survive in today's environment then yes.
They are investigating it, some million years in the oldest beeings in Earth don't make evolutive difference to the current ones. The only question is, if they can infect humans or animals or not. The climate change make that all tipe of indesirable things are defrosted, adding more dangerous diseases to the existing ones.
Viruses and bacteria don't evolve to kill you. They propogate in your system to spread themselves. It's actually in their best interest to keep you alive, so the more evolved ones would be less deadly because they've had more time to dial it in. Not that evolution is something they choose, it's from mutations that work more or less better.
