How To Build A Dinosaur

April 6th, 2009

Jack Horner, a 62 year old Paleontologist and technical advisor for the Jurassic Park films, has written a book about the potentiality that dinosaurs could walk on this earth again.  Birds carry dino DNA and as embryos they sprout the beginnings of claws, teeth, and lizard tail which are soon cancelled out by other genes which redirect that growth.  Horner believes that by somehow turning off the redirecting genes we could have a new species of “saurus” running around.  He assures that the beast will not mutate into a threat of humanity and would be nothing like the horrifying Jurassic Park film series.  

How To Build A Dinosaur: Extinction Doesn’t Have To Be Forever is fascinating.
