Natural Science Forum / Biology / Paleontology / April 2004Dino DNA in humans?
Scientists recently found out that some dinosaur DNA can be found in humans and it could be possible that the dinos just hide inside humans until they will break free and rule the earth again. So check yourself now, there *could* be a dino inside you. > Scientists recently found out that some dinosaur DNA can be found in > humans and it could be possible that the dinos just hide inside humans > until they will break free and rule the earth again. > > So check yourself now, there *could* be a dino inside you. I'm sure this has been taken out of context. All higher animal forms share a large amount of DNA because they all have certain things that have to be done regardless of their body form. For example, crabs, lizards, insects and monkeys all have the enzymes that are needed to make Kreb's Cycle happen as it should. Therefore, they all share the DNA for producing these many enzymes. Otherwise, they could not turn sugars into energy. Just because crabs also have Kreb's Cycle doesn't mean that we have crabs inside us just waiting to come out. Dinosaurs are not in mammalian ancestry because they arose from diapsids that were not dinosaurs. Mammals came from synapsids which are believed to have arizen independently from more primitive anapsid reptiles back in the Carboniferous or early Permian. >>Scientists recently found out that some dinosaur DNA can be found in >>humans and it could be possible that the dinos just hide inside humans [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > I'm sure this has been taken out of context. I suspect this is a garbled version of a true event. Some supposed dinosaur DNA was published in, I recall, Science. Somebody else did a BLAST search on the sequence, and it turned out to be a human sequence. In other words, contamination of the sample. Not dino DNA hiding in humans, but human DNA hiding in what was claimed to be dinosaur sequence. > All higher animal forms > share a large amount of DNA because they all have certain things that [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > have arizen independently from more primitive anapsid reptiles back in > the Carboniferous or early Permian. Actually this is entirely believable. After all DNA is simply a very complex long chain chemical protein. It is absolutely likely that DNA can evolve in parallel independently. The emphasis is chemical. > Scientists recently found out that some dinosaur DNA can be found in > humans and it could be possible that the dinos just hide inside humans > until they will break free and rule the earth again. > > So check yourself now, there *could* be a dino inside you. |
