Dinosaur Family Tree

For PA and her little dinosaurs.

This is so awesome on so many levels.

This is SO MUCH MORE than we knew about dinosaurs when I was growing up.  This tree wouldn’t have been possible twenty years ago.  It’s amazing how quickly knowledge advances.  And look at the incredible detail!  All the twisty evolutionary steps to get from dinosaurs to birds.  It’s positively miraculous.  How easily life on Earth could’ve ended up shaped like something else…

The tinysaurs thank you, Persian!  But you’re not telling them anything they didn’t already know.  They’re well aware that they’re 30 feet tall and genetically destined to rule the world.
