Dinosaur Legs Grown On Genetically Modified Chicken Embryos In World First

Was it not part of the legend of Atlantis that "they dared to think themselves gods"? God's alleged punishment was brutal. It seems we are at that same point again.

Imagine the size of those drumsticks! They'd be better than a brontoburger!

Scientists are still trying to carefully map out the anatomical changes that occurred between dinosaurs and birds during this time, and there’s arguably no better way to do this than to engage in a little “reverse evolution.” With this in mind, a team of researchers has grown “dinosaur legs” in chicken embryos, as revealed in their study in the journal Evolution.

Remarkably, previous research manipulating chickens into “becoming” dinosaurs has already taken place. Back in 2015, a study showcased that chickens that had been tweaked during embryonic development could grow a dinosaur-like snout. A year earlier, a more low-tech study demonstrated how a few strategically-placed weights could make a chicken walk along like a Tyrannosaurus rex.

This new research aimed to uncover the secrets behind the development of dinosaurian skeletons, once again using chickens. In fact, they’re already veterans when it comes to reverse evolving: In 2015, the researchers managed to get chickens to grow dinosaur-like feet. This time, they were interested in how the leg bones themselves grow.

You've obviously never been attacked and stalked by a goose...they were once velociraptors and nobody can convince me otherwise.

We are and it's coming. Our just reward for failing.

P.S. an example of the genes not being dormant are in reptiles.

You don't know what you're talking about. These dormant genes don't exist in all animals. Worms don't have dormant genes for fingers, teeth and tails. Neither do squid. Or many fish. The only animals that have them are -coincidentally- the ones that once had them according to evolution theory.

Similarly, humans and apes have dormant genes for vitamin C synthesis and egg yolk. These same genes exist in a non dormant state among animals that lay eggs and synthesize vitamin C.

Dolphins and whales have the genes for hind limbs. Sharks don't.

Are you really too stubborn to admit that this is evidence for common ancestry?

LOL Dinosaurs didn't just evolve into birds lol

Dinosaur LEGS CANT FIT INTO AN EMBRYO.

DO YOU GUYS REALLY BELIEVE
THIS SHIT?

Nice , I love cooked chicken feet

Humans did not come from apes. Ffs. They are two different species. Grow a brain.

KFD

Dinosaurs did not exist before 1841.

Promise.

Humans did not come from apes. Ffs. They are two different species. Grow a brain.
