and a bird. They said,
“The Archaeopteryx is
t he an c e s t o r o f a l l
birds”. To them, this is a creature
t ha t r e s emb l e s a b i r d bu t i s i n f a c t a ha l f
dinosaur .
But this is false.
The Archaeopteryx is a complete bird!
Because:
1. The Archaeopteryx had feathers just l ike the
birds of our time.
2. The
Archaeopteryx
had the same
chest-bone, to
which its wings
were attached,
as other flying
birds.
3. The
Archaeopteryx
cannot be the
ancestor of al l
birds, because
fossi ls of birds
that are more
ancient than it
have been
found.
