"If you take the reproductive rate of alligators or Komodo dragons as a ballpark estimate, how many generations do you think would occur in, say, 30 million years?"
30 million years would only apply if the mutations waited that long. When do the modified T Rex skulls appear in the timeline? At the beginning of the T Rex species, middle, or at extinction?

My point in discussing dogs is that one shouldn't confuse variation in size and bone length with large changes in the genome. Small changes in regulatory genes account for the difference between wolves and chihuahuas.

Well now I'm confused. Didn't eagles evolve from T-rex? That would make T-rex the middle, right?
Oh, and I'm joking...
