I'm glad that they
may have found proof. This was hinted at and theorized back when Jurassic Park was written. Which means it was theorized prior to that.
For years, whenever someone asks, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" I always answered "The Egg". Something that was no longer a dinosaur and not quite a chicken laid and egg. A chicken hatched. Hence the egg came first.
This was actually brought up in an evolution discussion that we had months before the crash that lost everything. It's cool that they found more conclusive evidence. Given enough time, who knows what else they may find?!?
Cyberstrike says,
Why would anyone want to clone a T-Rex?
The same reason that they have cloned about everything else, because they can! The only thing that is stopping cloning a human is morals...and believe me that won't last long...actually I think some scientist in South East Asia has stated that he plans to clone a human...not sure though.
So, back on point. It's about the glory to be the first to do something.
The Nobel prize for most satisfying defeat of Nature goes to...
