520 $aAt the heart of the movie and novel Jurassic Park is a simple proposition: If, 65 million years ago, an insect that had bitten a dinosaur had then been preserved in amber, could modern scientists extract dinosaur DNA from the insect and use it to clone a new dinosaur? To answer this question, scientists Rob DeSalle and David Lindley take you on a romp into the far reaches of modern science to explore the world of dinosaurs and DNA, where you can learn: where to search for amber from the dinosaur age; how to identify DNA; why the hardest part of the process would be to find an egg that "knows" everything a dinosaur embryo needs to develop and survive; and whether a dinosaur could learn how to behave like a dinosaur if there were no older dinosaurs around to teach it. Discover the answers to these and many other curious questions, along with facts and movie bloopers.
