Jack Horner, rinomato paleontologo, ha dedicato la propria carriera al tentativo di ricreare un dinosauro. Egli ha recuperato fossili con vasi sanguigni e tessuti molli straordinariamente intatti, ma mai e' riuscito a trovare del DNA. Ora, in un nuovo approccio, servendosi dei discendenti viventi dei dinosauri (i polli), egli li manipola geneticamente per ripristinarne le caratteristiche ancestrali, inclusi i denti, la coda e persino gli arti anteriori, per provare a ottenere il "Pollosauro".

Jack Horner and his dig teams have discovered the first evidence of parental care in dinosaurs, extensive nesting grounds, evidence of dinosaur herds, and the world’s first dinosaur embryos. He's now exploring how to build a dinosaur. Full bio »
