Why can't dinosaurs and reptiles be birds?
@mintakamothkind4 күн бұрын
Reptiles and dinosaurs both existed before birds and there is fossil evidence showing the divergence of birds from the rest of the dinosaurs. The evolution of dinosaurs is messy and the phylogeny is still somewhat unclear, but we believe they are part of a branch of reptiles called Archosaurs, which includes the most recent common ancestor of crocodiles and birds and all of its descendants. We call this a clade; Dinosaurs are a clade, so their grouping includes their most recent common ancestor and all of its descendants, and this would include birds. This is why birds are, cladistically speaking, Dinosaurs, and therefore Reptiles. I hope this isn't too confusing.

T. rex is currently believed to have been featherless or mostly featherless, and if it did have feathers it would have been more like the down feathers of a chick.
@jivepsilocybe9934 күн бұрын
Birds are dinosaurs and reptiles but most evidence points to trex not having feathers. Possibly as a juvenile but not as an adult or sub adult. And if it did have feathers they would be more like hairs of an elephant or down at best. I feel using a dromeosaur of some sort such as velociraptor or deinonychus would be a much better example.

At the beginning of the video, you said birds are reptiles. Are birds and reptiles two different evolutionary offshoots from dinosaurs?
@ellisnorn2595 күн бұрын
I believe that Reptiles as a Clade contains dinosaurs and crocodilians and what not, so therefore birds, being dinosaurs, are also reptiles. It's not that reptiles are descendants of dinosaurs, but dinosaurs are a branch of the reptile Clade.

🤔 Good point @ellisnorn259 The biological sciences, especially taxonomy, especially of prehistoric species, is an ever-changing science, as we learn more details about the animals /organisms. All the books I read growing up basically said that dinosaurs are types of reptiles and birds descended from dinosaurs, but are basically their own thing. Also, there were 2 major divisions of dinosaurs: reptile-like dinosaurs and the bird-like reptiles. (Mostly based on hip joints if I remember...) And dinosaurs were a pretty different set of reptiles from the ones we know today. Kind of like cats and anteaters are both mammals... Then we have modern day birds that descended from dinosaur ancestors, & that evolution started when dinosaurs were still around but I think (someone can fact check me on this but) it took quite a long time to get to the toothless fellows we'd all recognize as a "normal" bird.... So now this question & previous answer plus the increasing # of discoveries of feathered dinosaurs has me wondering , Were the"bird-like dinosaurs" actually early birds, just, like, dino- birds? Maybe for millions of years half the dino population were really a bunch of flightless birds running around...... :) Edit: Scrolling down there are at least 2 videos about dinosaurs > birds evolution/ taxonomy. Maybe I'll come back later with some new insights :)
@catpoke95574 күн бұрын
No, they are not. Reptiles evolved first, then dinosaurs. Birds are an offshoot from dinosaurs though, this is true. All dinosaurs are a type of reptile, which is actually the main reason why we know birds are reptiles now, since we know they're dinosaurs now.

@@jeb197Ironically, birds descended from the "lizard like" dinosaurs (saurischians) rather than the "bird like" dinosaurs (ornithoschians) The groups were named based on the orientation of their pelvis, which superficially resemble today's birds, while saurischian hips appear similar to lizards. But birds evolved from maniraptoran theropods, which are saurischians

Theory: maybe the ,"Ancient One's", of the now ,"America's",have always been the true native peoples. Instead of coming from another land, they could have populated near the coastlines of America's. As the water rose they moved inland and that's why all artifacts date back to a similar time.Well the same time at numerous locations around the America's which would be impossible if people's traveled from the same route to inhabit the America's.

Some of the Centris and Tetrapedia bees buid their nest on cavities like the mazon, and leaf cutter bees. Can those oil collecting bees been raisen like the leaf cutter and mazon bees? Do they need you to clean their nesting areas to keep them pest-free, like the other 2 species?

The best understanding of the fluted 'notch' on the Clovis type point: it's formed to assist in the hafting (securing) of the blade onto the split (& shaped) end of a spear. This was accomplished by using thin cordage in conjunction with natural adhesives (tree resins). p.s. big fan of Dr Jessi Halligan ~

The "3 species of tyrant" bit really gets at something. People want to name things - make their mark, so to speak. Given that we live on average 80 years, trying to define an animal that, in some form, existed for 25 thousand times that long (assuming T-rex lasted 2 million years)........obviously there's going to be some change there. I know that cladistics is the "best fit" solution we have for understanding what we discover, and that's very useful for describing things. I wish more researchers and scientists would point out that every little thing we get is just a snapshot, with millions of years before and after missing. People can't even agree on speciation with extant animals, within their own lifetime. Maybe we need a different framework for extinct animals? It just seems somewhat broken. Why are we expending brain-power trying to differentiate slow species progression.....instead of evaluating, over time, with the snapshots we get, what was successful, what failed, what lasted, what didn't? I guess I know the answer: You don't get to name anything if you do research like that. Still, I'd love to see it.

what a great presentation. I am on the Board of a Museum that owns about 2,000 points. I know that there were 2 points documented years ago as being paleo-Indian points but they were either lent out and never returned or lost somewhere in the collection. Now I have a better idea of what I'm looking for. Much easier to look for fluting than looking at them with a ruler and comparing them to two crummy photos I have from an archaeological journal. Thank you so much!
