Reptiles to Birds

Hi ASA,

Andrew Mandell has asked us what we thought about the reptile-bird
transition. My belated reply...

the joining of dinosaurs and birds is a detective story almost 140 years
old, and the feathered dinosaurs a triumph of persistent scientific
intuition. Also the first theropod dinosaur tracks found in the 1830s were
thought to be those of giant birds - an almost true suspicion...
