Longisquama and the Great Feather Debate
Рет қаралды 5,562
4 жыл бұрынIn this video I reconstruct a little tiny fossil reptile, and discuss the major controversy that erupted over it, 20 years ago. A controversy that divided the scientific community, into two waring camps. Those that thought it had feathers and those that thought it had scales.

Interesting content, as usual. I'd like to add a few comments about pronunciation. The actual name of the animal is Longisquama and not Longisquamata, and it originates from Kyrgyzstan (not Kyrzykzystan or whatever)

I really love your presentation but sometimes I am surprised by your mispronouncing of rarer or longer words such as "Kyrgizstan" (pronounced as CUR-GEESE-STAN, more or less) or in another video "Nipponosaurus", for example. I would like you to bring your attention to the fact and ask you if you suffer from dyslexia? I am sorry for the unrequired criticism but it surely is distracting.

Also, Evgenii Kurochkin, actually not that hard, your pronunciation makes it literally ungoogleable
