  • Here is an amazing documentary from 1993 that centers around how one would go about cloning dinosaurs, if it really were possible, what to do with the dinosaurs if they were realized, and if it was even ethical to begin with. It's hosted by Jeff Goldblum (Ian Malcolm from the film), and features author Michael Crichton, director Steven Spielberg, and the paleontologists who worked on the film; Jack Horner and Robert T. Bakker. While the focus on the documentary is primarily the fascinating questions and the proposed science, for fans of the film there are some unique glimpses of behind the scenes material and more. A real treat of a documentary that was only ever released on VHS, and worth preserving. My own transfer.
    Written, produced, and directed by David Dugan, for NOVA on MCA/UNIVERSAL video.

    GREAT documentary! Crazy this was made in 1993 and as far as I know, there hasnt been much advancement towards to creating a real dinosaur. I know Jack Horner has been trying for years, but the question is...when?
    Speaking of Jack Horner, it's really cool to see him and Robert Bakker interact.

    Oddly, I always heart that the DNA extraction wouldn't work because of the age. I didn't know that it actually did work! Combine the egg thing with AI to remove the ostrich cells, and we could see a high dinosaur retention rate.

    • @williansnobre
      @williansnobre 7 місяців тому +6

      The age is still a problem because it is all scrambled and _really_ long.
      Using bird DNA as the base and making small changes over a few generations using viral insertion of DNA could work. It avoids the whole trouble of cloning, instead making the changes accumulate as the animals reproduce.

    The major problem for once you've got a viable dinosaur embryo is the problem of gut flora.
    Every creature has microorganisms in their intestinal tract that help them break down food, many are evolved for their specific host species, i.e. they are not found in any other animal. Creatures are not born with this gut flora, they have to ingest them to get a starter culture going (I'm not going to spell out how).
    Problem with dinosaurs is, that all the gut flora for each species went extinct with them, and no amount of amber harvesting or bone grinding is going to find you the DNA for those little germs.

    Honestly, with how much technology and knowledge of biology/genetics has advanced between then and now, I believe it's getting closer and closer to be possible. Of course, they wouldn't really be TRUE dinosaurs, it would be more like the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park, 'theme park monsters' designed to look like an approximation of dinosaurs

  • @raminagrobis6112
    @raminagrobis6112 4 місяці тому +1

    This all very fine, but ...I'm a biologist. One thing everybody should know is that we are not our DNA. An embryo is the result of a dynamic interaction between the mother's egg and/or placenta and the zygote (fertilized ovule). In IVF, a fertilized egg divides up to the blastocyst stage (70-100 cells) before it must be implanted into a mother's uterus. If we're talking of a bird's egg, replace uterus with all the "information" contained within the egg itself, especially a host of bird proteins and RNAs. Anything past the implantation depends on the interaction with the mother/parental egg, like when and how every particular dinosaur part would develop. The more your modern bird diverges from the model organism (eg velociraptor vs T rex), the closer to the original dinosaur you must be. A velociraptor? Perhaps, with lots of information. A T rex? Forget it.
