Wil human DNA be revealed to be reason the Indominus had thumbs?

Will Dr. Wu be the one to reveal it if it happens? Would it be his own DNA? That Indominus chart had an question mark for the thumbs so...

I think it had Therizinosaurus DNA imo

Possible but why keep that such a secret? Human DNA would definitely be a major secret Wu wouldn't want anyone to know about (except maybe Hoskins).

That would surely be a big plot-twist, although I really fear it would lead to a Homocraptor concept in future sequels that I don't want to see XD

I'm pretty sure they gave it thumbs because it looks cool, the design doesn't really resemble any of the dinosaurs its stated to have the DNA of so I'm pretty sure they didn't think that hard when they designed it. They already know how stupid the homocraptor idea was because fans hated it, so they're never going near that territory.

I'll be shocked and irritated as hell if they say it has human DNA. I'd drop the movie then and there without hesitation.

If this thing happens:



Primates aren't the only animals to have opposable thumbs, but, based that we saw that primate looking spinal cords on the lab, I would say the opposable thumbs come from a primate like a great ape (not a human). I just find curious why Universal official charts didn't reveal where the opposable thumb came from. I remember a image that appeared some time ago and it informed all Indominus DNA, even saying she had Therizinosaurus, but in the opposable thumbs was "?".

That "?" makes me very suspicious. Primates would make sense but keep that unknown when list everything else? So that's why I won't be surprise if it happens. If the human DNA only gave it a thumb (and more intelligence than Raptors) I wouldn't get to upset.

It probably has human DNA, but because Universal recognizes how much many fans hate that idea they'll never officially reveal it.

Honestly I can't see how it could have thumbs without some primate genes in there. We already got amphibian and cephalopod so primate is hardly a stretch. Not really sure why some fans are against this though, I thought it made perfect sense as to explaining how the Indominus was so smart, had thumbs, and was pretty much a sociopath; stuff that tends to only be found in nut case great apes.

Sociopathy is also known in other intelligent animals (including, possibly JP raptors, unless The Big One had a legitimate reason for slaughtering all but two of her packmates). Back at JPL somebody mentioned that chameleons have opposable digits, so that's another possibility. But, there's no reason why that would be kept classified. The only reason I can think of that the source of iRex's thumbs would be classified still would be that the source is human morphological genes.

Its intelligence is explicitly stated to be a result of raptor genes, though (there's film evidence too, in that it appears to think like a raptor and has their pack instincts). It's basically a raptor stuck into the body of a much larger mishmash of theropods with the metabolic and cellular abilities of various modern animals.

I have a bad feeling human DNA is in the Indominus and I would suspect it is Wu's. In a sense, why wouldn't it be?

It probably does. It's kind of implied in the movie and other materials released way after. But for that reason, they'll never actually say it.

It has thumbs. We all need to chill out. It can't speak English or build airplanes or vote or drive a stick shift.

Seriously, the complexity of the *single* feature it inherits from humans is nothing compared to what it inherits from the other animals used to make it. It's even less complex than the anatomical features it gets from other dinosaurs! Therizinosaurus gave it whole arms, instead of just one digit on its hand; Giganotosaurus increased its maximum size, Rugops and Carnotaurus gave it osteoderms and horns.

From raptors, it gets not only high intelligence but the right kind of intelligence to have raptor language in its instincts, meaning its whole nervous system would be affected all the way down to the very structure of its brain.

From cuttlefish it gets chromatophores in its skin which allow it to camouflage itself perfectly to a degree greater than any other vertebrate animal, which would ALSO need a huge modification to its nervous system on top of what there already would have been.

From snakes it gets the ability to see infrared, as well as dislocating jaws that allow it to open its mouth wider than any other dinosaur.

From the tree frog it gets the ability to modulate its thermal output intentionally, which combines so well with its ability to see infrared that it's able to know when it's cold enough to go unseen by thermal scanners.

From humans it gets an opposable thumb on each hand.

I agree, if Indominus rex has human DNA, it would be surely Wu's. Like a signature. Kinda creepy.

They won't say it bc the fandom would go batshit crazy.

That's the only way I can accept the idea. Also, a signature? Kind of like a thumbprint. Get it?
