It is important that we learn from and take note of important events in the history of our planet such as the extinction of Dinosaurs - if we, as the intelligent species homo sapiens, as the most dominant force on earth, are to survive!

 

The time has come to look seriously at the ways we do and do not yet utilise energy from nature, such as to conserve existing fossil fuels and more importantly, prevent global warming from destroying our natural habitat.   Unravelling the DNA chain and reconstructing it via cloning to eradicate defects in our species, or to improve us, is perhaps one of the most important experimental projects of our century, even though teetering on the edge of 'mad scientist' or 'evil dictator.'  Additionally, if we cannot change our dirty fuel greedy habits quickly enough, to adapt to survive, the human race could go the way of the dinosaur!
