At least some scientists are asking questions too.
I would agree with that. You only have to observe the antics of some of the larger biotechnology companies to realise that science is very self serving for some. In the light of day what have they found? A little dinosour with an opposable thumb. Exciting find yes but hardly conclusive in the history of humankind. As I said in my first post bacteria grouped by visual observation and deemed to be related on physical simularities has proven to be false in a number of cases. It was only after the DNA of these organisms was sequenced that the mistakes were found. Could it be the same for this little creature . I imagine they would be hard pressed to find any usable DNA after 47 million years so we will probably never know. Bet it's gonna start some heated arguments though.
