We may not be able to bring back the dinosaurs exactly as they existed hundreds of millions of years ago, but once we\'ve got the genetics and the development process worked out, we\'ll be able to create creatures that look and behave as we imagine those dinosaurs did.\
\
\"They found that birds have a unique cluster of genes related to facial development, which the non-beaked creatures lacked.\
When they silenced these genes, the beak structure reverted back to its ancestral state. So too did the palatal bone in the roof of the mouth.\"
