Without meaning to get dragged into the bird/dino origins debate, I'd still like to point out that Ruben has been somewhat misquoted here. Although Ruben likes to use his dino evidence to argue f...
For those who are interested in bird origin, it is important that they read the article in Science. The illustrations are in many cases spectacular, in some cases not as clear as I like, but the evide...
