Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Mai i te tau 2013, e ngana ana a Tākuta Milton Wainwright ki te whakamārama i te hapori pūtaiao kua kitea e ia he tangata ke i roto i te papa o te whenua. Inaianei e kī ana te tohunga nui o Ingarangi he tohu hou kei a ia mo ēnei 'ngā rauropi ā-iwi' e rere ana i runga i te 40 kiromita i runga ake i te aorangi. E ai ki a ia, he pai te whakamātautau DNA o ngā rauropi, ā, he nui ake te taumaha i te 'ono o te rahi o te rahi o te matūriki ka taea te whakaara mai i te Ao ki tēnei teitei.' Kua whakapau kaha a Tākuta Milton Wainwright ki te whakamārama i ngā mātauranga, kua kitea e ia ngā tangata whenua ke i roto i te papa o te whenua mō ngā tau maha. Ko te pikitia tetahi o nga mea e kiia nei ko nga 'ngahi wairua' e kii ana te kairangahau he tohu mo nga momo oranga o waho o te whenua. Kua whakakahoretia ōna whakaaro e te hapori pūtaiao. E ai ki a ia, kei roto nga rauropi i roto i te ao whakarewa iti rawa i hangaia e tetahi momo mohio ki te 'whangai' i te oranga tangata ke i runga i te Ao. I panuitia e Tākuta Wainwright te kitenga i roto i tētahi īmēra ki ana ākonga i te Whare Wānanga o Sheffield, nāna i tuku ki runga i Reddit. 'I tonoa e mātou he pōro me tētahi tauira, ā, kāore i kitea he pollen, he tarutaru rānei, kāore he mea hei whakapoke i reira, he tino ma", i kī a Tākuta Wainwright ki a Jason Koebler i Motherboard. 'Mo enei take, e whakaaro ana matou kei te haere mai [nga rauropi] mai i te mokowā,' ka tapiritia e ia. 'I te wā katoa e haere ana koe ki waho, ka whakaekehia koe e ngā rauropi i puta mai i te mokowā.' I kii ia ko ana kitenga hou kua whakaaetia i roto i te niupepa Astrobiology and Outreach. E kī ana a Tākuta Milton Wainwright (matau) he tohu hou kei a ia mō ēnei 'kōkōkōkōkō extraterrestrial' e rere ana i runga i te 25 maero (40km) i runga ake i te aorangi. E ai ki a ia, he pai te whakamātautau DNA o ngā rauropi, ā, he nui ake ngā taumaha e 'ono ngā wā i te rahi o tētahi matūriki ka taea te whakaara mai i te Ao ki tēnei teitei.' Ko te rangahau a Dr Wainwright kua tino whakahētia e te hapori pūtaiao hei tautoko i ngā taunakitanga rawakore, ngoikore hoki. E kī ana ngā kaiwhakawā, ko ngā tauira i riro mai i a mātau i ahu mai i te Ao, ko te tikanga me whai tikanga hei hiki i ēnei...
Ko te kerēme whakahirahira nā Tākuta Milton Wainwright o te Whare Wānanga o Sheffield. I whakamahia e ia ngā pōro ki te kohikohi i ngā tauira puehu 25 maero (40 km) ki runga ake i te Ao. E kī ana kua kitea e ia he'rauropi ā-iwi' e whakamātau ana i te DNA. He nui te whakahē a te hapori pūtaiao i āna rangahau.
