Evolution of Birds

Professor Bernie takes Aaron on an adventure to explore the evolution of birds from dinosaurs. They discuss the role of fossils, particularly Archaeopteryx, in understanding this evolution. The video explains how theropods, small carnivorous dinosaurs, are linked to modern birds through shared features like feathers and bone structures. The evolution of feathers for insulation and flight, as well as the role of oviraptorosaurs in parental care, are highlighted. The video concludes with a quiz to reinforce learning.
