How to Build a Dinosaur: Extinction Doesn't Have to Be Forever is a 2009 book by paleontologist Jack Horner and James Gorman. The book outlines Horner's theory for being able to resurrect a maniraptoran dinosaur by altering the genes of a chicken embryo.
Horner's 2009 book, How to Build a Dinosaur: Extinction Doesn't Have to Be Forever, describes his plan to recreate a dinosaur by genetically "nudging" the DNA of a chicken. Horner's idea for the project came from an early script for the film Jurassic World . [29]

Birds are avian dinosaurs, and in phylogenetic taxonomy are included in the group Dinosauria. Dinosaurs are a diverse group of reptiles [note 1] of the clade Dinosauria. They first appeared during the Triassic period, between 243 and 233.23 million years ago (mya), although the exact origin and timing of the evolution of dinosaurs is a subject ...

Dinosaur classification began in 1842 when Sir Richard Owen placed Iguanodon, Megalosaurus, and Hylaeosaurus in "a distinct tribe or suborder of Saurian Reptiles, for which I would propose the name of Dinosauria ." [1] In 1887 and 1888 Harry Seeley divided dinosaurs into the two orders Saurischia and Ornithischia, based on their hip structure. [2]
The physiology of dinosaurs has historically been a controversial subject, particularly their thermoregulation. Recently, many new lines of evidence have been brought to bear on dinosaur physiology generally, including not only metabolic systems and thermoregulation, but on respiratory and cardiovascular systems as well.
Velociraptor ( / vəˌlɒsɪˈræptər, vəˈlɒsɪræptər /; [1] lit. 'swift thief') is a genus of small dromaeosaurid dinosaurs that lived in Asia during the Late Cretaceous epoch, about 75 million to 71 million years ago. Two species are currently recognized, although others have been assigned in the past.
Spinosaurus ( / ˌspaɪnəˈsɔːrəs /; lit. 'spine lizard') is a genus of spinosaurid dinosaur that lived in what now is North Africa during the Cenomanian stage of the Late Cretaceous period, about 100 to 94 million years ago. [2] The genus was known first from Egyptian remains discovered in 1912 and described by German palaeontologist Ernst ...
Tyrannosaurus ( / tɪˌrænəˈsɔːrəs, taɪ -/) [a] is a genus of large theropod dinosaur. The type species Tyrannosaurus rex ( rex meaning "king" in Latin ), often shortened to T. rex or colloquially T-Rex, is one of the best represented theropods.
