"These findings help counter, once and for all, the position of paleontologists who argue that birds did not evolve from dinosaurs," he said. Wishful thinking. The debate will continue....

i wonder,if mankind destroy itself and birds survive,would evolution return the big dinos to earth ? Actually there were some pretty dangerous bird predators that took the niches that mountain lions, jaguars and pumas have in the Americas.
They died out about 10,000 years ago but going after a 3 meter tall bird with a beak that could slice off your arm and heavy claws on it's feet would be no picnic.
