Paleontologist Jack Horner on Building a Dinosaur from a Chicken...

Recorded at TED (Technology Entertainment and Design, March 2011), famed paleontologist Jack Horner touches on subjects ranging from Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park, to recovering soft tissue from fossilized dinosaur bones, to his own efforts to retro-engineer a dinosaur from a chicken embryo. "If you want dinosaur DNA, go to the dinosaur." Fascinating stuff...



For my take on the subject, be sure to check out Little Birdies!  As always, you can read the opening chapters here.
