Biologists are doing pioneering work in this sphere of evolutionary anthropology. They have substantially decoded the genome of the extinct Neanderthals!!! So, it's only a matter of time before they find some preserved egg of some dino and manage to decode that as well.

And so Jurassic Park is nigh! I can't wait to see little dinosaurs not to mention big ones. And oh, I want to see some of those Neanderthals in 'reality' as well rather than only on the Discovery Channel!!!

Way to go scientists!
