The recent release of Jurassic World broke records for the best opening weekend ever, taking in $208.8 million in North America. The film, which is a reboot of 1993's original Jurassic Park, focuses on a theme park which displays dinosaurs that have been cloned by taking the DNA from fossils.

YouGov's latest research shows that 41% of Americans think that dinosaurs and humans either 'definitely' (14%) or 'probably' (27%) once lived on the planet at the same time. 43% think that this is either 'definitely' (25%) or 'probably' (18%) not true while 16% aren't sure. In reality the earliest ancestors of humans have only been on the planet for 6 million years, while the last dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago.
YouGov最新的研究顯示41%的美國人認(rèn)為人類與恐龍"肯定"同時在星球上生存(占14%)或者認(rèn)為“可能”共存過(占27%)。43%的美國人里有25%“絕對不信”,18%的人,認(rèn)為“不太可能”共存過。另有16%的人不確定。事實上,最初的人類先祖在星球上僅生存了600萬年,而末代的恐龍6500萬年前就滅絕了。
When asked about the science that provides the fictional basis for the Jurassic Park movies, most Americans (54%) say that it is not currently possible to create dinosaur clones from DNA found in fossils while 28% believe that it is currently possible.?Half the public also say that if there were a theme park like Jurassic Park, they would not go to visit while 40% say that they would.?
