Dinosaur Reverse Evolution

“Sex, Drugs, Disasters, and the Extinction of Dinosaurs” is written by Stephen Jay Gould, professor of geology and zoology at Harvard. This essay is one of more than a hundred articles on evolution, zoology, and paleontology published by Gould in national magazines and journals. It tells about scientific proposals for the extinction of dinosaurs – a confusing but an exciting problem that humanity tries to solve. By analyzing and describing each of the claims for the reptiles’ demise – sex, drugs, and disasters – Gould differentiates bad science from good science and explains what makes some theories silly speculations, while the other, a testable hypothesis.

Jack Roosevelt Robinson was born January 31, 1919. He was born in Cairo, Georgia and was the youngest of five children. He had a grandfather that was a slave, Jackie’s dad was a sharecropper and Mallie, Jackie’s mother, was a maid. His dad ran away from the family when Jackie was only an infant.

Jack Johnson was born on March 31, 1878 in Galveston, Texas. He was one of

Jack Johnson was born in Galveston, Texas, on March 31, 1878. He was born the third child of nine and the first son, of Henry and Tina "Tiny" Johnson. After a few years of school, He went to work as a laborer to help support his family. Most of his childhood was spent working on boats and

In 1993, Steven Spielburg’s Jurassic Park introduced the concept of bringing extinct species back. In 2003, a team of Spanish and French scientists took Spielburg’s movie to the next level—they successfully brought back the Pyrenean ibex, a species of wild goat (93). With increasing rates of extinction, the scientific community is debating whether or not this process of de-extinction should continue to be pursued. Although it would be remarkable to visit an exhibit featuring a saber-tooth tiger or woolly mammoth, these animals went extinct for a reason; humans should not bring back extinct animals, but instead use the funding for more practical purposes.

Dinosaurs ruled the earth for over 65 million years and thankfully for the human race, they became extinct. Ultimately, only a major catastrophe could completely wipe out an entire species, let alone an entity of dinosaurs and the debacle on the causes of dinosaur extinction have flooded the minds of paleontologists for centuries. Geologist and zoologist Stephen Jay Gould published “Sex, Drugs, Disasters, and the Extinction of Dinosaurs,” to compare scientific and speculative causes of dinosaur decimation. Personally, I found this passage very informational and enjoyed reading it. Gould provides three theories that capture the reader’s curiosity, allowing room for pondering in one’s mind.

Jack was born on October 2, 1911 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. His birth name was John Finney, but was changed to Walter Braden Finney after his father died when he was only three. Although his name was changed in honor of his father, the nickname of ‘Jack’ stuck and he was referred to as Jack for the rest of his life. He spent most of his childhood years in the town of Forest Park, which is right outside of Chicago.

They are creating new things every day finding new cures which is good but recreating a animal from the past, which ruled the earth before us, is not. Hammond states that “Right now, as we stand here, almost no one in the world has ever seen an actual dinosaur. Nobody knows what they're really like”. Wu on the other hand believes that the dinosaurs need to be slowed down for easier handling although Hammond is right, the dinosaurs are dangerous and do not belong in our world. Dinosaurs aren’t only a danger to life in the day and age we live

Today, our society is changing so fast that we barely even notice it’s happening. Soon enough, our society will be able to do what the scientists in Jurassic Park did, and create copies of our “once exist” giants. But while science and technology evolves, we should be the ones to bring up the question not “if we can,’ but rather, “should we?” Dinosaurs are ravenous and dangerous creatures that could tear us apart into pieces, but if properly contained, could be a magnificent sight for many to view. Nature removed the dinosaurs from our planet by selection, but we can use our superior intelligence to play god through biological manipulation. In an article by Thomas Sumner and Bjorn Carey, they discuss the ethics of reviving dead species such as the ones in Jurassic Park, and denote that the technology is in our near future. “Twenty years after the release of Jurassic Park, the dream of bringing back the dinosaurs remains science fiction. But scientists predict that within 15 years they will be able to revive some more recently extinct species, such as the dodo or the passenger pigeon, raising the question of whether or not they should – just because they can” (Sumner and Carey).

What would the world be like if there were an actual living dinosaur? No, they should not create a chickenosaurus. Based on “Dino-Chicken Gets One Step Closer”, it states that “even if the scientist give the chickens a new feature they won’t be able to use it”. The scientist could harm the chickens. “When the scientist transformed the chicken’s beak embryos into snouts they accidentally changed the palate”. Base on the Dino-Chicken Gets One Step Closer Jack Horner don’t care about anything the only thing he cares about is creating chickenosaurus. In conclusion even if they create chickenosaurus the chickens won’t be able to use it the new feature that the scientist gave them. Lastly the chickens could get harm.

There is no way to possibly predict the outcomes of this research. Paleontologist would basically be out of business as well. They studied bones and now that they are alive and no reason to dig up bones. The extent of consequences out way any possible benefits of the creating of dinosaurs. Also seen in the movie, the animals were meant to roam wild all over the world not in a cage being feed.

Jack Kilby had a very interesting childhood. He was born on November 8, 1923, and he was raised in Great Bend Kansas. Jack went to go serve in the military during World War II. He was stationed as a technician. During Jacks childhood his dad owned an electric company, this helped Jack get into technology.

Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton demonstrated many dinosaur characteristics and behaviors. The dinosaurs were fictionally characterized to appeal to the readers. By examining the dinosaur’s appearance and behaviors of dinosaurs such as the duckbilled dinosaur, velociraptor, hypsilophodontids, dilophosaurs, Triceratops, apatosaurs, Tyrannosaurus rex, stegosaurs, and maiasaurs distinguished whether the evidence existed in the field of paleontology. The behaviors and characteristics of the dinosaur are divided into three factors as behaviors that were supported, not supported, and no evidence to support or refute the behavior.

Dinosaur extinction: An analysis of events and theories that possibly led to the dinosaurs' demise.

The biggest mystery surrounding the dinosaur is how did they die? For over 130 million years dinosaurs ruled the earth. Then 65 million years ago, at the end of the Cretaceous period, they died out.
