Would it be scientifically possible to recreate a primitive human ancestor using mode

I think it will come long after the pig with wings, and the one with the nerves and instincts to actualy fly.

Nice

I wonder when we will have the understanding of genetics neccesary.
Getting a fruitfly to grow a leg instead of an eye is different from making a correherent bone, muscle, and nerve function. Think of the way a leg instinctivily will collapse to take the load of a twisting ancle.

Imagine a goverment "Genetic enchancement of humans! When pigs can fly!"
IMHO, not a completely unreasonbly position.

I wonder when we are going to have the understanding of genetics necessary to finish building that Jurassic Park thingy that Steven Speilberg made those three documentaries about.

GStan,

I actually heard someone was trying to do that recently with a dinosaur. Dunno what kind of success they will achieve.

Very low most of the DNA was something other than dinosaur.

Finding old intact dna is not likely.
How long before we have the abillity to create functional organisms?
