An accurate summary of Kaku's argument is that amber, a resin which has solidified and is produced naturally by trees, was able to preserve the DNA of insects for over a million years. In turn, this has enabled scientists to further study these ancient species. Amber has played an important role in ensuring that the DNA of these species are protected.
