About this title

Synopsis

A scientific advisor for the film, Jurassic Park, evaluates the potential for artificially growing a real dinosaur without ancient DNA, in an account that traces his team's paleontology research to reveal the relationships between dinosaurs and birds and how it may be possible to stimulate latent tyrannosaurus rex genes in a chicken.
