Jack Horner - How to Build a Dinosaur
This book is about a process called reverse evolution. This entail experimenting with a creature's embryo to give it traits similar to it's ancestors. Though this has not yet been successfully completed, significant advances have been made in experimenting with chicken embryos. Also, because this process does not involve use of dinosaur DNA, it is an easy process to repeat.To find scientists to help him work on this project, Jack (the author of this book) traveled to Bozeman, a town in Montana just east of the Rockies. Near this town lies Hell Creek Formation, which contains sediment that dates back to the dinosaurs. Jack hopes to find scientists in Bozeman and Jordan, another nearby town, to assist him.

I see you've changed books. Did you finish the other one or did you decide to place it aside? Also, do not forget to include your own personal perspectives on what you have read. Do you agree with the experimentation taking place? Do you see value in it?
