We think that feathers evolved. We have several fossils that support this theory. But our fossil asks some questions

In other words, they don't know anything.

Feathers may have evolved early but then were replaced by scales in some creatures because they were not needed.

Humans may evolve organs that allow us to breathe liquid gold. But these organs may eventually disappear from the human race, because they are not needed.

Is that how evolution works?

"Scientists had thought that all representatives of the group coelurosaurs should have feathers," Gohlich told Reuters.

Maybe he was a 'plucker'.

Initially I thought, "not any more," but I hear stone soup is pretty good.

Not found in China? If unique to Europe this might explain some folk tales.

Yup. Wonderful thing, science. It incorporates new evidence, rather than just closing its eyes, sticking its fingers in its ears and humming real loud.

I thought feathers evolved to satisfy a costume need in burlesque theater.
