You could come back with a pregnant extinct animal and ideally revive the species. That'd be one of the few things no amount of money or teleporting could get you.

Two problems there.

1) It says you can bring an item back, not a living creature. It's the same reason I assume you can't go back and grab historical people as well.

2) Bringing back ONE creature isn't going to help anyway - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_viable_population

Actually, there's also a third problem - namely that, in spite of how cool Jurassic Park may seem to you, bringing back extinct species isn't necessarily a good idea in the first place. And you'd better hope they aren't carrying any type of virulent infectious diseases that can hop species.

You guys are not thinking about what would help humanity the most as well.

Probably because most people here don't give a shit about what would help humanity.

Though it's worth noting that the poll says you receive one of the inventions, which implies the others still exist. So you can always assume that other people are using the other inventions to benefit humanity (or profit from them personally) while you just indulge in your own personal whims.
