Every time you see a bird, you're seeing a direct descendent of dinosaurs says paleontologist Jack Horner. (60 minutes) University of Wisconsin molecular biologist Sean Carroll agrees. "Dinosaurs never went extinct… there was an asteroid event that took out a lot of life on Earth, including T. Rex and all the most famous dinosaurs. But this other group, what we call birds, made it through."
Pound360 has been following this trail for a while. And as we remarked in 2008, (as we continue to follow this story) dinosaurs keep getting less like lizards… and more like birds.

About Me
- pound360
- I started pound360 to channel my obsession with vitamins, running and the five senses. Eventually, I got bored focusing on all that stuff, so I came back from a one month hiatus in May of 2007 (one year after launching Pound360) and broadened my mumblings here to include all science.
