A recent discovery of soft tissue in dinosaur bones is reviving the possibility of recovering dinosaur DNA. Remarkable new genetic advances are revealing that the DNA of dinosaurs and birds, their only living descendants, are extremely similar. In this special, Professor Jack Horner, palaeontology adviser to the Jurassic Park feature film series, makes the case that it will be possible to create a living dinosaur - not by retrieving ancient DNA - but by retro-engineering a dinosaur from a bird.
