Let’s Begin…
To
look at the evolution of modern bird feathers, we must start a long time ago,
with the dinosaurs from whence they came. We see early incarnations of feathers
on dinosaur fossils, and remnants of dinosaurs in a bird’s wish bone.
Carl Zimmer explores the stages of evolution and how even the reasons
for feathers have evolved over millions of years.
