Horner is such a genius. Amazing how on the bleeding edge (no ancient heme pun intended) of dinosaur research he's been during his career, especially given how difficult reading is for him with his severe dyslexia. I love that even as a serious scientist, he's still trying to make his childhood dream of having a pet dinosaur come true. I hope he gets to see chickenasauruses in his lifetime, or failing that, I hope I do in mine.

Hes smart but I feel like a genius would be able to acknowledge a "chickenosaurus" as a concept won't work simply because chickens are already dinosaurs, so trying to turn a chicken into a dinosaur is like trying to turn a human into a primate. Hes determined, not a genius
uhh..i dunno man. he has a pretty mixed track record when it comes to dinosaur theories like when he’s said and keeps saying tyrannosaurus is 100% a scavenger (this is dumb). also creating our own creatures from extinct animals is just not a good idea. think of the environmental implications. thankfully this whole “chickenosaurus” science fiction bs has been dropped
I love that, and this is very rare in academic circles, his wit and ability to engage an audience truly is directly proportional to his obvious intelligence.
"The chicken is a dinosaur. You can't argue with it, because we're the classifiers and we classified it that way." This is hilarious but also something I really wish more people understood about... about science? About language? About everything. There's no inherent order to the universe--all human knowledge is us drawing neat boxes around what is actually a big mess with incredibly blurry lines. That is, words and categories aren't objective reality, but a tool for understanding objective reality, which is too big and too messy for those words and categories to ever fully encapsulate. When a definition stops being useful and starts limiting our thinking, we can and will change it. And this inevitably makes people scream when it happens because what they thought was objective reality was just a kind of shorthand that we swapped out for something better, and they don't understand that. (IDK, I'm sure there's some philosopher that has put this more elegantly but I'm running up against the limits of my vocabulary trying to explain myself here.)
Sorry about the confusion... There is order in the Universe - human knowledge is just trying to discover it! Many many thousands of person-hours of work have gone into figuring out the puzzle of What Are Birds? The overwhelming weight of evidence points to the conclusion that bird are a sub-family of dinosaurs.
@@Nemo67577 Also, there's no reason to reduce the effort to make sense of the universe to mere vanity or delusions of grandeur etc. as I feel is often the implication of such statements. We try to make sense of things because it's useful, and many of the models we create are sufficient to make accurate predictions. Even if they're based entirely on misconceptions and all the semantics is completely arbitrary, this 'imagined knowledge' is still evidently useful.

studying these mutations, learning how to prevent them, even manipulating them will lead to a better understanding of genetics and genetic modification in the long run
That's actually the prime subject for bringing back a velociraptor! I mean the bird already has man-killing talons. (the chicken subject seems a little lame; but it's the equivalent of a cheap lab mouse I guess)
I breed chickens. I can tell you it's not lame. If you have ever watched an hours old chick successfully hunting and eating prey or your rooster steel mice from your cat or god forbid, watch 7 of your hens kill and eat a ground hog in the most brutal way imaginable you would feel different. But most people don't know that chickens are vicious hunters either so I can't blame you. Look up "swamp chickens". A 3.5 foot tall dino chicken that regularly fights off alligators in the bayou. (I am SOOOO breeding them next!) Personally I don't have to wait for pet dino's, I already have them! :)
Fascinating. With 90% of our DNA apparently redundant, I can't help but think about how much of our ancestry is written into that DNA and just what might be possible were we able to manipulate that DNA. How completer picture of our evolution is actually still there in our DNA, how far back we could literally read that ancestral line, or even recreate, if we even wanted to. I'm sure it'd be far too fragmented to create exact replicas of what we were say 50 million years ago, but still, something to ponder. :)
There is no redundant DNA; it all actually does something during your development as progressively genes are switched off. This is how you have differentiated organs performing different functions, and how your body is able to repair itself when damaged.
The majority of it is said to be completely non-functional - that is, until we figure out what it does. Is it just extra DNA that we don't need or do we simply not understand what it does? If you can't see the effect something has, its fairly easy to say it doesn't do anything.
Honestly anyone who's pissed off a rooster before knows how bad of an idea it would be to clone a T Rex, it would be utter chaos as a roosters fury knows no bounds, when murder is on its mind there's no stopping the rampage that ensues ...
Perhaps a grouse, or pheasant, a more "wild chicken", rather than a domesticated chicken who's genetics has been altered over the years as we cross-bred it for desirable culinary characteristics!
gallimimus literally translates to chicken mimic and ornithomimus to bird mimic so gallimimus is already present here along with ornithomimus since it is a non-avian bird!
From Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897) pg.80 "He is mad, stark, raving mad, and it's no use my trying to stop him". Seriously though, I love Jack Horner and all the controversies he causes. Probably my favorite scientist.
It's been a few years since his book (which I recommend) and this talk came out, and since then, people have been talking about recreating much more recent species, such as the woolly mammoth or Irish elk, or even species that went extinct in historic times like the aurochs, dodo, passenger pigeon or thylacine. Yet, it seems the fervor to have non avian dinosaurs again diminished. Will this plan ever be realized? Will we truly see dinosaurs (non avian ones) walk among us? Only time will tell, but I sure hope so.
well its an age problem..dinosaurs come from WAY further back than the other ones you mentioned. Finding DNA/protein from such beings is nearly impossible as of now whereas the others are actually possible. The chances of finding DNA that could be used diminishes with time..and I'm not talking finding samples from 10-15 thousand years ago, which is kinda doable..if we are talking dinosaurs its more like 80-100 million years ago or so..thats why scientists have dropped that idea. You might get to see a chicken dinosaur in your lifetime though :) and thats kinda interesting.
If they decide to make the same genetic changes to other birds, such as ostriches (which can get up to, in some cases, 9 feet tall!), we might have something pretty darn interesting. And dangerous.
As much as I would like to see a reverse engineered dinosaur, it seems ethically right to try and bring back a lot of the species who's extinctions we are directly responsible for. And after we show that we can do it effectively we can go even bigger.
Justin Jacobs Yeah bringing back dinosaurs seems completely immoral to me but bringing back animals that humans made extinct has some sort of an ethical duty attached to it I think, I like that idea.
We aren't that far from having "dino-chickens" already. Look up "Shamo chickens" here on UA-cam. I breed those and they are a far cry from most people think of when they hear "chicken". Roosters can be over three feet tall and have a noticeable thumb with a claw on each wing, and in addition to often-double sets of spurs on the backs of their legs, they have an elongated inner toe claw that they can use exactly like a Raptor claw, to target major blood vessels in an opponent/victim. They are very intelligent birds, as well, really good at figuring out how to open doors to their enclosures and escape, and have beaks that can bite through most wire, like basically a set of bolt cutters for a mouth. Mine will use their feet to grasp and manipulate food items too big to be swallowed whole, much like a parrot uses its feet, and I've never seen any other chickens do that. A bad-tempered Shamo is an extremely dangerous animal, and roosters of this breed have been known to kill people. The father of one of my roosters, a bird that belonged to a fellow Shamo breeder, actually severed the finger of a farm employee that failed to heed the signs on his pen warning not to put hands inside.
There was an experiment done with chickens, where a faux tail was placed onto them using a harness, and it made the chickens adjust their walking style to what is more than likely how dinosaurs walked
All I see in the chicken is a patched mess. In an attempt to save energy, long-term evolution is wasting it, by not changing the base code but live-applying hotfixes to every single instance.

I was sold as soon as he mentioned the Glo-Chicken. That on its own, is reason enough to justify whatever amount of funding this guy needs. A giant chicken. With the teeth of a T.Rex. A clawed, three fingered hand, like a T.Rex. And the aggression levels of its original Chicken genotype. (Cockfights?) I know people might have safety concerns, about these creatures escaping, but there's no need. If they escape, we just wait until it gets dark. Because they GLOW in the dark! THAT'S the way to "Fix the Chicken". The meat industry will be happy, the Pet industry will be happy. And more importantly, the sixth graders are already doing the groundwork to make this happen.

Atavism derives via French from Latin atavus, meaning "ancestor." Avus in Latin means "grandfather," and it's believed that the at is related to atta, an old turkish word for "daddy."
"But... birds are dinosaurs... birds are living dinosaurs... we actually clasify them as dinosaurs, we now call them non avian dinosaurs and avian dinosaurs. So the non avian dinosaurs are the big clunky ones that went extinct, avian dinosaurs are modern birds... So we don have to make a dinosaur... we already have 'em..."
They are cool. Birds of prey are dope, some parrots have near perfect mimicry abilities, and cassowaries are essentially just avian non-avian dinosaurs.
Ever since I seen Jurassic Park as a kid (born in 91) It was on my bucket list Im 28 so there should be a decent chance If seeing a dinosaur doesn't blow humanity away I don't think anything will -life- science will find a way
It's the teeth that are tricky. Birds don't have the gene for enamel so the teeth are useless. A bit of transgenics will be needed and that's far harder to pull off (without unintended mutations) than simply turning existing genes on or off.
There's a saying that we should never show our plans to anyone or our plans would fail. This is the proof of that. Everything he said is very possible but it doesn't come to fruition because what should be a top secret, he spill to the public

Written in a 2018 artical, Dana Rashid, is now taking over for what's now called the dinochicken lab & has said that while it will be possible in 5 years, its not our primary goal. Horner has said that with 300,000 to a million, it is possible to produce this hybrid chicken in a year.
As of 2020, they have successfully made the chicken 3/5 similar to dinosaurs, now they need size and and the absence of feathers to make the chicken similar to the velociraptor

There are few if any birds more dangerous to people than the cassowary. Banding cranes and eagles poses a deadly risk. and my friend nearly got killed by an owl when he was climbing it's tree.
I got pecked by a woodpecker once.
He seemed genuinely sad at 9:18
A moment of accepting human limits against the god but with sadness still gonna try bcouse Hes thinking thats evolation thing so we can reverse engineering and modfy to turn back. İn the same idea next genarstion living things can bring back humans after god doomsday. So group of peope not depended the god afterlife idea survivers of nogod park. This not gonna allowed clearly by god maybe thats why dooms day not juts end of humanity or only solor system planets. Ends of this matter Realm.
studying these mutations, learning how to prevent them, even manipulating them will lead to a better understanding of genetics and genetic modification in the long run
Youre not prepared for whats been learned from genetics.
Just imagine if you did this with a cassowary... Jesus
That's actually the prime subject for bringing back a velociraptor! I mean the bird already has man-killing talons. (the chicken subject seems a little lame; but it's the equivalent of a cheap lab mouse I guess)
I breed chickens. I can tell you it's not lame. If you have ever watched an hours old chick successfully hunting and eating prey or your rooster steel mice from your cat or god forbid, watch 7 of your hens kill and eat a ground hog in the most brutal way imaginable you would feel different. But most people don't know that chickens are vicious hunters either so I can't blame you. Look up "swamp chickens". A 3.5 foot tall dino chicken that regularly fights off alligators in the bayou. (I am SOOOO breeding them next!) Personally I don't have to wait for pet dino's, I already have them! :)
trinitydraco1 seriously man. They are literally dinosaurs and are some of the oldest and most experienced land predators around.
also look up the shamo chicken. Pet dinos I say!
Cassowaryosaurus Rekt
Fascinating. With 90% of our DNA apparently redundant, I can't help but think about how much of our ancestry is written into that DNA and just what might be possible were we able to manipulate that DNA. How completer picture of our evolution is actually still there in our DNA, how far back we could literally read that ancestral line, or even recreate, if we even wanted to. I'm sure it'd be far too fragmented to create exact replicas of what we were say 50 million years ago, but still, something to ponder. :)
Unfortunately it is not all ex-genes, but mostly tandem repeats and a lot of endogenous retroviruses!
There is no redundant DNA; it all actually does something during your development as progressively genes are switched off. This is how you have differentiated organs performing different functions, and how your body is able to repair itself when damaged.
The majority of it is said to be completely non-functional - that is, until we figure out what it does.
Is it just extra DNA that we don't need or do we simply not understand what it does? If you can't see the effect something has, its fairly easy to say it doesn't do anything.
Honestly anyone who's pissed off a rooster before knows how bad of an idea it would be to clone a T Rex, it would be utter chaos as a roosters fury knows no bounds, when murder is on its mind there's no stopping the rampage that ensues ...
11 years later and I'm still waiting for my chickenosaurus
it's 2016... any updates? anyone?
The head is doing good
www.inquisitr.com/2883336/dawn-of-the-chickenosaurus-successful-reverse-evolution-results-in-chickens-with-dinosaur-snout-legs-and-feet/
Nosferatu It's 2017 and dinosaurs still exist in your imagination, much like men on the moon and North Korean despots.
2018 update?
You don't believe in men on the moon?
They should do the same thing on an ostrich so we can have a Gallimimus!!!!!
Charlie Zilla Gallilimus is cool m8
Gallimimus is the least cool dinosaur.
Perhaps a grouse, or pheasant, a more "wild chicken", rather than a domesticated chicken who's genetics has been altered over the years as we cross-bred it for desirable culinary characteristics!
Or ornithomimus.
gallimimus literally translates to chicken mimic and ornithomimus to bird mimic so gallimimus is already present here along with ornithomimus since it is a non-avian bird!
From Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897) pg.80 "He is mad, stark, raving mad, and it's no use my trying to stop him". Seriously though, I love Jack Horner and all the controversies he causes. Probably my favorite scientist.
Why did you quote that?
Now 2020 I'm still waiting dude
Anyone who has ever seen a cassowary needs no convincing that birds are dinosaurs.
It's been a few years since his book (which I recommend) and this talk came out, and since then, people have been talking about recreating much more recent species, such as the woolly mammoth or Irish elk, or even species that went extinct in historic times like the aurochs, dodo, passenger pigeon or thylacine. Yet, it seems the fervor to have non avian dinosaurs again diminished. Will this plan ever be realized? Will we truly see dinosaurs (non avian ones) walk among us? Only time will tell, but I sure hope so.
well its an age problem..dinosaurs come from WAY further back than the other ones you mentioned. Finding DNA/protein from such beings is nearly impossible as of now whereas the others are actually possible. The chances of finding DNA that could be used diminishes with time..and I'm not talking finding samples from 10-15 thousand years ago, which is kinda doable..if we are talking dinosaurs its more like 80-100 million years ago or so..thats why scientists have dropped that idea.
You might get to see a chicken dinosaur in your lifetime though :) and thats kinda interesting.
+wendel88 Yeah, the half life of DNA also is a giant problem, because even if we find Dino DNA, it probably won't be anywhere near complete.
If they decide to make the same genetic changes to other birds, such as ostriches (which can get up to, in some cases, 9 feet tall!), we might have something pretty darn interesting. And dangerous.
As much as I would like to see a reverse engineered dinosaur, it seems ethically right to try and bring back a lot of the species who's extinctions we are directly responsible for. And after we show that we can do it effectively we can go even bigger.
Justin Jacobs
Yeah bringing back dinosaurs seems completely immoral to me but bringing back animals that humans made extinct has some sort of an ethical duty attached to it I think, I like that idea.
Literally Dr. Grant from Jurrassic Park.
Michael Crichton based Alan Grant on Jack Horner
Ditto what RED Hood 23 said. Side note, George Church is basically Henry Wu
@@redhood2394 Yep.
Even the fact that he studies about duck billed dinosaurs nesting habitats in Montana
Grew up watching this guy as a kid all the way back in the 80's! He's the man JURRASIC PARK's "Alan Grant" character was based on!
We aren't that far from having "dino-chickens" already. Look up "Shamo chickens" here on UA-cam. I breed those and they are a far cry from most people think of when they hear "chicken". Roosters can be over three feet tall and have a noticeable thumb with a claw on each wing, and in addition to often-double sets of spurs on the backs of their legs, they have an elongated inner toe claw that they can use exactly like a Raptor claw, to target major blood vessels in an opponent/victim. They are very intelligent birds, as well, really good at figuring out how to open doors to their enclosures and escape, and have beaks that can bite through most wire, like basically a set of bolt cutters for a mouth. Mine will use their feet to grasp and manipulate food items too big to be swallowed whole, much like a parrot uses its feet, and I've never seen any other chickens do that. A bad-tempered Shamo is an extremely dangerous animal, and roosters of this breed have been known to kill people. The father of one of my roosters, a bird that belonged to a fellow Shamo breeder, actually severed the finger of a farm employee that failed to heed the signs on his pen warning not to put hands inside.
There was an experiment done with chickens, where a faux tail was placed onto them using a harness, and it made the chickens adjust their walking style to what is more than likely how dinosaurs walked
its been 8 years wheres my chickenosaurus
Today in my class we had a similar discussion now I'm here listening in more detail ^°^
Reverting to an older version is always easier than updating one.
Unless it's called Vista. :P
All I see in the chicken is a patched mess. In an attempt to save energy, long-term evolution is wasting it, by not changing the base code but live-applying hotfixes to every single instance.
İn time not easyier. Can you go win 3.1 without get 98 to 95. Also dont forget jpark pcs uses pre win95 to imposible to even get that pc forget About dinos.
I was sold as soon as he mentioned the Glo-Chicken. That on its own, is reason enough to justify whatever amount of funding this guy needs.
A giant chicken. With the teeth of a T.Rex. A clawed, three fingered hand, like a T.Rex. And the aggression levels of its original Chicken genotype. (Cockfights?)
I know people might have safety concerns, about these creatures escaping, but there's no need. If they escape, we just wait until it gets dark. Because they GLOW in the dark! THAT'S the way to "Fix the Chicken". The meat industry will be happy, the Pet industry will be happy. And more importantly, the sixth graders are already doing the groundwork to make this happen. Cock-a-Doodle-Doo!
Glo-Chicken will get lots of funding from FOX.
2018 and they're still looking into it. Jack Horner says maybe next 10 years but as with all things who knows.
Well, as long as he gets funding to pursue his life dream.
... But we know you gotta offer potential for profit in the research, hah. Worrying.
Jurassic Park and World: Making dinosaurs is dangerous!!!
Paleontologists: Did we hear something?
Same happened with chihuahua.
This guy is funny
Imagine the next Jurrasic park movie about chickens 🐔 and C-Rex
I would really like to see what a chickenosaurus looks like
Wow, the way he speaks, this man is a powerful example of will , now days if a child is dyslexic is considered disabled and segregated as special needs child. This man is using words i have a hard time pronouncing and holding a speech that keeps u entertained and interested until the last second. Absolutely fantastic.
isnt george church dyslexic with adhd and narcolepsy? another awesome biologist
Can we make the chicken glow anyways since we are doing mass modification of it's genes
@Deimos Cain I saw the first glowing mice at a museum, after they retired from research they got to live in the Mars exhibit where i worked.
Atavism derives via French from Latin atavus, meaning "ancestor." Avus in Latin means "grandfather," and it's believed that the at is related to atta, an old turkish word for "daddy."
Emre Geylani ancestor grandfather daddy what kind of dinosaur is that?🕶
"But... birds are dinosaurs... birds are living dinosaurs... we actually clasify them as dinosaurs, we now call them non avian dinosaurs and avian dinosaurs. So the non avian dinosaurs are the big clunky ones that went extinct, avian dinosaurs are modern birds...
So we don have to make a dinosaur... we already have 'em..."
They are cool. Birds of prey are dope, some parrots have near perfect mimicry abilities, and cassowaries are essentially just avian non-avian dinosaurs.
Ever since I seen Jurassic Park as a kid (born in 91) It was on my bucket list
Im 28 so there should be a decent chance
If seeing a dinosaur doesn't blow humanity away I don't think anything will

I love how he's totally open and vulnerable about his dyslexia in front of a room full of academics
They are mere children compared to what he has accomplished in his field. His reputation is his "armor"!
We have created a more dinosaur like leg on a chicken. 2016 update. We are also getting closer to a tail...
The Dinosaur Creator CENA!! 2018 updates?
It's the teeth that are tricky. Birds don't have the gene for enamel so the teeth are useless. A bit of transgenics will be needed and that's far harder to pull off (without unintended mutations) than simply turning existing genes on or off.
The Dinosaur Creator CENA!! Please send link
@@davidkelly4210 yes, the teeth will be hard. lol. but birds do get an egg tooth... i wonder if that is a real tooth
Are they still working on this???? Have they done any hatching at all yet?? I need to know!

#FixTheChicken
There's a saying that we should never show our plans to anyone or our plans would fail. This is the proof of that. Everything he said is very possible but it doesn't come to fruition because what should be a top secret, he spill to the public
Back in the 60s I read The Enormous Egg
, by Oliver Butterworth. It's precisely "getting a dinosaur from a chicken".
Wonderfully humourous talk. Thanks.
10:06 "No"
chickens are dinosaurs of today
All birds are cos they evolved from a specific dinosaur family group
Horner retired in 2016. Written in a 2018 artical, Dana Rashid, is now taking over for what's now called the dinochicken lab & has said that while it will be possible in 5 years, its not our primary goal. Horner has said that with 300,000 to a million, it is possible to produce this hybrid chicken in a year.
I never understood the "birds can't be dinosaurs because they're not cool" spiel. Are hawks not cool? Are eagles not cool?
This guy is pretty awesome and this was very interesting.
I prefer to eat chicken, not be eaten by one.
Fucking, Gold
Chicken lives matter. Make chicken great again.
Yeah but imagine how much more rewarding eating the chicken would be if it was a fight to the death and the chicken lost!
MrsRazor66 So no more Bearkiller or Tiger Hunter or crocodile wrestler but Chicken Eater?
They be like “mmmhhmm, humans tastes like chickens.”

‘Jack Horner was so preoccupied with whether he could, he didn’t stop to think if he should.’ Dr. Ian Malcom, 2021
You end up with a different kind of chicken, not a dinosaur. That is adaptation within "kinds", not evolution. You still have a chicken.
And chicken is the dinosaur )
2019 where’s this thing at
I dOn'T KNow..... :(
This is the first time I've actually seen Jack Horner... This man is hilarious! lol. Brilliant AND a comedian.... "Fix the chicken". Love it.
he is a joker indeed, not a scientist, he has to fix his finds with all possible means, jokes especially, to make no,n existing ends meet
I recall him in the great "Walking with Dinosaurs" shows, decade or so ago; he was more serious, and of course brilliant in his career!
One decade later, where is my dino-chicken? Where is my cadillac?
the dino-chicken is coming soon, the Cadillac, well, sorry, never! :D
As of 2020, they have successfully made the chicken 3/5 similar to dinosaurs, now they need size and and the absence of feathers to make the chicken similar to the velociraptor
Velociraptor hade feathers tho
Yeah, the only thing that they still couldn't do is the tail
was chased by a rooster when i was like 9… felt like a velociraptor chasing me through a jungle
Hey its 2018 the second Jurrasoc world is out and this has still not happened
Fantastic TED Talk!
I love this talk. Fun and informative!
hello would this be a realistic size of the chickenosaurus, height of around 18 to 24 inches and a length (including the tail) of around 24 to 36 inches.Teeth size 1-2 inches long. (these measurements would be a impressive feat) And two question would it be carnivorous? And take a educated guess how long will it take for them to finish (maybe a decade or two)?
Watching this in 2022 from Long Beach, California where this was happening! 🖤🦖 Great guy and classic talk
Life should not be manipulated for entertainment or for market. This is some real sick stuff!
Agree
That's why he came up with an excuse. (A lame one.)
We have to realize though that this has been happening for ages. It's called domestication.
wait do you have a dog cuz its the creation of this do you have a cat cuz its cuz of this do you eat alamost every evegtable its cuz of this now shut up
please tell me there is a ingen funding this
just hope that it's not Biosyn

Leave chickens alone Dr. Frankenstein. Of course I accept evolution but I don't agree with interfering with the development of a chicken for grotesque purposes like this.
Seriously? How is it grotesque if he is trying to learn (and eventually prove) the evolution of dinosaurs into birds? Quit being a pansy.
