Yep. Over dinner tonight hubby and the kids were going on about birds, chooks and how their ancestors were dinosaurs.

were they? Roll Eyes

Quote:

Modern birds originated a hundred million years ago—long before the demise of dinosaurs, according to new research.

In searching for the first ancestors of modern birds, studies have shown discrepancies between results from fossils and genetic analyses.

Fossil records suggest that modern birds originated 60 million years ago, after the end of the Cretaceous period about 65 million years ago when dinosaurs died off.

But molecular studies suggest that the genetic divergences between many lineages of birds occurred during the Cretaceous period.

Now a new study based on molecular evidence suggests that avian ancestors were flapping their wings some 40 million years earlier than thought.

In the new study researchers applied a new method of research that looks at mutation rates across lineages.

"My goal for this study was to once and for all reconcile divergence estimates from these two sources of information," said lead study author Joseph Brown, a graduate student at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

Crocodiles and certain sharks are the only species of dinosaurs still left from millions of years ago.

Sharks are fish, they have no bones and use cartilage instead. No relation to dinosaurs (Reptiles.)

Dinosaurs aren't reptiles. They're birds.

Well, the only species notable for being in the era of the dinosaurs that are still around today are crocodiles and sharks.

That's what I was basically taught.

But as you know scientific theories change over time and it's because of our kids that I'm now learning that well .... the official line has changed. Dinosaurs have evolved and our modern day birds were once dinosaurs.

Who knows what they'll say about dinosaurs in another 20 years? It's all very interesting though....how science knowledge changes just within a single generation.

Update :

Yep. Over dinner tonight hubby and the kids were going on about birds, chooks and how their ancestors were dinosaurs.

UnSub, hubby was also taught at Uni as I was... that dinosaurs were reptile affiliated. It all apparently changed in the mid 90's.

Our kids can't believe how silly we were to think dinosaurs were linked to reptiles <--- the little $hits have been making fun of us lol

Here we see Larry trying to twist the conversation so that it does not look like the idiot said dinosaurs weren’t reptiles Grin

Hmmm “. . .saurs” shows they were reptiles.

Clever of Larry but not clever enough! LOL!

I was chatting with Gordy in the topic next door about lizards etc.

I honestly don't get why guys think they're awesome likeable creatures.

To me (and every girl I know)... they're creepy and scary.

Awesome likeable (and cute) animals IMO are golden retrievers and canaries.

So I don't understand why our perceptions are so different. Could this be something else which demonstrates what makes men different to women ?

Christ! This was outdated 40 years ago!

Larry's whole MO is to flirt outrageously with anyone who will respond to them. And indeed some who don't.

Like, outrageous flirting. It's shameless.

It's tres amusing to watch to old fellas on here lap it up.
