Synopsis
Jack Horner and his colleagues in molecular biology labs are poised to create a real dinosaur based on the latest breakthroughs - without using prehistoric DNA. The mystery ingredient in this recreation is the genetic code for building dinosaurs that lives on in modern birds.

While the world anxiously awaits the long-promised invention of the flying car or personal jet pack, a more recent imaginative science-fiction event may be close to becoming a reality. Paleontologist Jack Horner, a scientific advisor to Steven Spielberg on JURASSIC PARK, and New York Times science writer James Gorman discuss the possibility of using genetics and DNA to awaken species from the eternal slumber of extinction. While the authors are quick to caution that the fantastic inhabitants of the dino-theme park first imagined by Michael Crichton will remain safely contained in the realm of fiction, they show how earlier links in the evolutionary chain may be re-created in a laboratory in the near future. Scientists in the emerging field of "evo devo," or evolutionary development, may soon be able to biologically produce a bird with certain characteristics, such as scales or a tail, of its dinosaur ancestors, in order to observe how those features changed over time, thus providing a clearer picture of the evolutionary processes which define our own development.

Publisher's Note
A scientific advisor for the film, Jurassic Park, evaluates the potential for artificially growing a real dinosaur without ancient DNA, in an account that traces his team's paleontology research to reveal the relationships between dinosaurs and birds and how it may be possible to stimulate latent tyrannosaurus rex genes in a chicken.

Industry Reviews
"Combining gross and molecular anatomy with genomic information...makes re-creating a dinosaur a genuine prospect that he urges his colleagues to pursue. Straight from the scientific frontier, Horner's work should excite anyone who's dreamed of walking with dinosaurs."
