What do you think? Would you visit a dinosaur sanctuary in 2050, or are we asking for a sequel to extinction? Drop a comment below.
You might see a Microraptor gliding through a climate-controlled aviary. You might pet a genetically fuzzy Psittacosaurus at a zoo (for a $5,000 ticket). dinosaurs coming back in 2050
The dinosaurs coming back in 2050 will be (they will be gene-edited to be infertile, just in case). What do you think
In 2025, a joint project between Harvard and the Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully mapped the entire genome of the Psittacosaurus (a small, parrot-faced dinosaur). By comparing it to the genome of its closest living relative—the humble chicken—scientists identified the "differential gene switches." You might see a Microraptor gliding through a
Before you pack your go-bag or start training a pet Raptor, let’s look at why scientists actually believe the Mesozoic Era might have a sequel in 26 years. We aren't talking about finding a mosquito in amber (thank you, Hollywood, for that genetic dead end). DNA has a half-life of about 521 years. By 65 million years in, that DNA is confetti.
