The book goes over the potential of how to make a dinosaur in this day and age and the theory of how to do so. The entire first portion of the book is a recount of the history of dinosaurs and their evolution thereof. The author goes into much further depth over the debate on reptiles vs birds.
The second part of the book pertains to gene manipulation concerning drugs versus master genes using chickens as a base genome example. Changing life in the embryo to manipulate its outer structure. Such as giving chickens teeth, claws and a tail.
The last portion of the book goes over the concise Evolution from bird to mammal and explores the theory of reversing said evolution.
A great read if you can follow it. There is a lot of scientific verbiage that would be difficult for the layman do you understand. Very interesting theories and very entertaining overviews. Jack Horner takes you in depth in seeing just how close we are to creating the Chickenosaurus.
