[Jurassic Park] First Fossil of Blood-Filled Mosquito Discovered

[Federere]

They just need to add some frog DNA to complete the sequence and get to cloning
fucking do it already

 

[Mitchdubai]

DNA breaks down dude, so it's impossible to bring them back from fossilized blood. Sorry

It was impossible to even identify a person from DNA quite recently. It was also impossible for me to sit in my house typing something and for you to read it 5 seconds later. etc..............................

The mosquito in that photo isn't even gorged on a blood meal. The only DNA you'll be extracting from it will be the mosquito variety.

it's a prehistoric mosquito...


do you realize the havoc that will ensue when they start cloning that thing: death, plague, destruction on pre-biblical proportions. Those things wiped out the dinosaurs you know, it wasn't some silly comet it was the mosquitoes, that have had a plan to take over the planet for millions of years and I for one don't want to be the species that assists them in that.

on a side note
this is what their mouths look like



finding a blood vessel

From afar, a mosquito’s snout might look like a single tube, but it’s actually a complicated set of tools, encased in a sheath called the labium. You can’t see the labrum at all in the videos; it buckles when the insect bites, allowing the six mouthparts within to slide into the mouse’s skin.

Gross.

And this has what bearing on the fact that DNA can't survive dozens of milions of years?

The same reason people said a lot of other shit was impossible. I'd wager in time when there's a better understanding of shit it'd happen.

Yes.

When we have a better understanding of how all that DNA hasn't already been destroyed.

I can't wait until we get a better understanding of how unicorns actually exist!

I wonder if in another million years some form of sentient life contemplates the idea of bringing humans back to life.

that would be the biggest mistake ever.
