Gee,really? I said that what was being swept under the rug was why Dinosaurs have DNA more similar to frogs, which was a relationship that was incompatible with traditional, anatomically based phylogeny. And you show me a traditional, anatomically based phylogeny to prove to me that Dinosaur DNA isn’t more similar to frogs???
Incidentally, that’s a great site for illustrating how the anatomically based phylogenists can’t agree on a single clade, isn’t it?
What the heck are you talking about?
The current paper builds on work by a team headed by John Asara and Lewis Cantley of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School.
“We determined that T. rex, in fact, grouped with birds — ostrich and chicken — better than any other organism that we studied,” Asara said. “We also showed that it groups better with birds than modern reptiles, such as alligators and green anole lizards.”
