Jurassic Moment

A few weeks ago, I did a post which included the Attenborough brothers, (Sir) David and (Lord) Richard.

This week's "Life Story" broadcast on Radio 4 by David was about amber, including the little creatures found in them. He mentioned in passing the theory that the blood of a dinosaur could be extracted from a mosquito embedded in amber and used to recreate dinosaurs.

This recalled, of course, (but made no mention of) the famous movie in which his illustrious brother starred. Along with someone we would unfortunately like to forget right now.

The broadcast is worth a listen though:

jazzy said...: Not sure if I want to see dinosaurs back on our planet. But I really like this idea: with a little drop of Vincent's blood we could clone "our" man several times. That would be one T-Rex. Or, in this case V-Rex!; 9:40 pm
