And apart from local people, primate researchers sometimes spot it, but it is a species seen by fewer than ten living birders. His employers were magnanimous in granting him time to research what was to be his magnum opus, published over the course of 20 years – the four-part Birds of the Belgian Congo.

We are on the threshold, just stepping across it really, of understanding one of the most important evolutionary events that ever happened. I speak of flight, of course. This is a key feature of birds. Not all birds fly, but all birds have flight related anatomy and at least descend from those that did.

A number of research projects have sought to determine if some of these human brain abilities are found in other animals. Even among our primate relatives, whoa are generally very smart, “Theory of Mind” is found in only a few species. But that’s another story. Here’s the idea. The graph shows the results.

Experts and bloggers agree that this has in all probability never actually happened , although the Institute of Creation “Research” and the Scottish Gamekeepers Association are a bit more open to the claim.

Primates are exceptional among the mammals, living amphibians (which represent only a small part of the original amphibian family tree) are pretty noisy too. One of the key features of birds, and I use the term “key” literally, is vocalization. Very few other vertebrates use sound so socially and so critically.

For instance, in primate phylogeny, postcranial traits (bony traits of the body, not the head) are usually useless because we can’t link teeth to bodies in most cases, and the teeth drive the taxonomy (though there are some recent exceptions ). And this is where the latest research related to Archaeopteryx comes in.
