These kind of findings have led to speculations that microbial life might survive in space frozen on some rocky chunk of planetary debris and then survive a fiery plunge to the surface of a planet. The theory has been used as a theory of how the earth might have been “seeded” from space. Its just a theory, not my proposal.

“Vishnivetskaya ... has coaxed million-year-old bacteria back to life on a petri dish. “

How many sci-fi horror flicks have started off this way?

Lol! Don’t forget the sequel, The People That Time Forgot!

Next up will be, The Movie That People Forgot!

Seriously, I think they’re fun, those old Sci-Fi flicks. I liked it too. And there really was a sequel, The People That Time Forgot. Came out a couple of years later in ‘77.

Here it is in full at YouTube

I recall that the movie ‘Smilla’s Sense of Snow’ featured prehistoric arctic worms.

There was also an x-files episode I think.
