In the last half of the 20th century, much research has been done on DNA, and this period has also been characterized by major breakthroughs in understanding DNA. For example, many insights have been discovered via the Human Genome Project, which has been successful at mapping out the human gene. However, despite the vast amount of studies that have been published as a result of the tremendous amount of research done on DNA, there are still a lot of people who are not so familiar with the concept of the DNA. This is because most of the studies that have been created are too technical for the average Joe to appreciate.

In criminal cases, it is the strength of the evidence against the accused that determines the outcome of the case. This is why prosecutors try their best to come up with the strongest evidence to prove the guilt of the defendant, and this is also why defense lawyers try their best to discredit the evidence of the prosecution.

In recent times, the expert that lawyers have greatly depended on with regard to the analysis of evidence is the Forensic Expert who is capable of doing DNA profiling or fingerprinting.

Newly Revealed 3600-Year Old Wisdom Text Describes Extinction of the Dinosaurs

In recent years, scientists have begun to challenge the popular K-T extinction event theory advanced by Nobel laureate physicist, Luis Alvarez. In 1990, he found evidence of a large impact resulting in an Extinction Level Event (E.L.E) in what is now Chicxulub, Mexico. His theory that this E.L.E. wiped out the dinosaurs some 65 million years ago was soon adopted. However, an increasing number of modern scientists are now casting doubts on his theory. Furthermore, a newly released 3600-year old wisdom text called The Kolbrin Bible supports these challenges to Alvarez's theory with a prescient human account.
