Paleontologist James Horner who worked on creating all series of the film “Jurassic Park”, believes that in real life, just like in the movie, you can recreate dinosaurs, and at the very soon.
James Horner who served as a technical consultant during the filming of the film, was also a living prototype Dr. Alan Grant, one of the main characters of the sensational tape. However, unlike the doctor, Alan does not believe that dinosaurs can recreate using DNA that has been stored in a piece for millions of years amber. Alan believes that for such a long period of the DNA chain definitely undergo irreversible modifications, even if they stored in the most ideal conditions.
How will dinosaurs be recreated
James claims to recreate living dinosaurs use not fossilized DNA, but the DNA of modern birds, because they play a key role in the possibility of reviving their distant ancestors. It turns out that chickens, as well as all the others birds store much more dinosaur DNA in themselves than scientists will ever be able to be found in the fossil record.
For example, last month, scientists announced that by hacking gene proteins they can already regress the beak of the chicken back in Toothy jaws of a dinosaur. And this is one of the most important steps on the way. to the revival of living dinosaurs! By breaking gene proteins scientists can restore the tail lost during evolution, and turn wings back into paws and brushes.
How much time will it take scientists to fully revive real dinosaurs – this question is still a topic of active discussions. Scientists may discover the necessary genes tomorrow, or maybe perhaps this search will take several years. Anyway, Horner I’m sure that this grand event will happen no later than in 10 years.
