Fascinating. I would like to see some more on this.

@frio109 I agree - there was a recent report from scientists who found that eggs have a specific protein that must be produced by the chicken.

Still ignorant,it isnt 80 million years old, Blood vesels lasting that long is next to impossible,the peaople are to afraid to even consider that maybe it isnt that old .

Been waiting 65mya for PREHISTORIC CHANNEL. Finally launching, but the site is pretty basic right now. Has anyone else seen PREHISTORIC CHANNEL yet?

cmon whats up with the useless 30 second commercials on youtube?

Inject it into a chicken and you will get a dinosaur. Or the egg.

[frio109]

@AdamSunnyFlanders That is true. With out the protein there can not be a egg.

[frio109]

@AdamSunnyFlanders The Chicken had to be first. A mutation from another bird. The eggs are produced in a specific area of a chicken.

All speicies of preditory direct line(to birds)therapods starting from the first dino can eventually be extracted fom a single bird Genome-but recreating a diverse population all of these long gone speicies is going to take an amazing feet of hocous Pocus! (*:

Watch Discovery Channel "Dinosaurs: Return to Life" - it's an hour long all about this, with Jack Horner and others discussing this exact topic, as well as the idea of reverse-engineering chickens. I think it's available in its entirety here on YouTube for the time being, but poor quality.
