    I think this is heady addition to the argument whether or not dinosaurs evolved in to birds. That's the only way birds could have evolved. An interesting point of note, concern...read more

    Taking a more philosophical view upon this issue, I would say that it is very possible for dinosaurs to have evolved into birds. If prehistoric sea creatures could evolve into m...read more
