Researchers at the University of Kent say their groundbreaking studies unlock one of the greatest mysteries about the prehistoric monsters why they came in such varied sizes and shapes.
It is also said the teams work will explain how dinosaurs were able to be the most dominant species on Earth for nearly 200 million years.
Professor Darren Griffin, who led the research, said they were able to map out the creatures genetic code by studying the DNA of their closest living relatives, turtles and birds.
It is believed that dinosaurs were so varied in their appearances because they had vastly more chromosomes than humans possess.
Dr Rebecca added: "The fossil evidence and now our evidence reinforces the idea that rather than birds and dinosaurs being distant relatives, they are one in the same.
"The birds around us today are dinosaurs."

Like they say about 1984, the movie “Jurassic Park” was meant to be a warning, not an operations manual.

This could be a living dnosaur and likely has much of the relevant non reptilian dinosaur DNA
It's an emu

This is just comparative genomics, not some recreation of dinosaur DNA.

This is not a new idea. But it’s likely correct.

IOW, their "evidence" reinforces nothing, since it's entirely based on the underlying assumption.

“they are one in the same.”
One *and* the same, “doctor.”
