About the "dino to bird people" not presenting an ancestor; serious paleontologists would not propose an ancestor, because they realize that rarely are there enough organisms fossilized to demonstrate anagenesis. It seems to me that you have entirely rejected cladistics just because it conflicts with your theory.Djangonoreply@blogger.com
