Scientist grow a dinosaur leg on a CHICKEN in bizarre 'reverse evolution' experiment 

Any one that has eaten roasted chicken can account for the presence in the drumstick  (lower leg) of a long, spine-like bone. This is actually the fibula, one of the two long bones of the lower leg (the outer one). In dinosaurs, which are the ancestors of birds, this bone is tube-shaped and reaches all the way down to the ankle. However, in the evolution from dinosaurs to birds, it lost its lower end, and no longer connects to the ankle, being shorter than the other bone in the lower leg, the tibia. Already in the XIXth century, scientists had noted that bird embryos first develop a tubular, dinosaur-like fibula. Only afterwards, it becomes shorter than the tibia and acquires its adult, splinter-like shape.

Scientists in a Chilean lab are resurrecting the prehistoric traits of dinosaurs. In 'reverse evolution' experiment, genes of a chicken were manipulated to induce the legs of a dinosaur.
