Welcome to Litsy!

I remember hearing about this book when it came out and I just happened to stumble into it at the library. I like when a science book isn‘t afraid to actually talk about some science. I know Dr. Horner stayed away from technical language but the information about embryology was fascinating. I learned a lot in these chapters. The version of the book I read was a little dated but I hope people are still out there working on the chickenosaurus.

I just get really excited anytime a Tiktaalik is given a shout out in a book.

2 down, 2 to go! Halfway through. Woop!!! 🤘🏻🎉🎉

The book goes over the potential of how to make a dinosaur today. The entire first portion of the book is a recount of the history of dinosaurs and their evolution thereof. The second part of the book pertains to gene manipulation concerning drugs versus master genes using chickens as a base genome example. The last portion of the book goes over the concise evolution from bird to mammal and explores the theory of reversing evolution.
