First Day here...

So I'm making this blog with one thing in mind, sharing my exploration of Pleontology with all those who even care. I'm a Undergrad in Math and its hard to find the time to find new and intersting infomation on dinosaurs. With this blog I will attempt to learn somthing new every few days, and relay it back to you all. Today I found out that, no so much in the dino relm, but in the genetics relm, the importance of parts of our DNA called switches, the parts of the DNA that tell the protine sythisizing parts, when, where, and how long to sythinzie something. If I understand correcty, at conception, if we were to adjust the switch genes just right, we can turn a human embryol into somthing more primitive (MANIMAL!)
