Feathers are complex skin structures, and their evolutionary beginnings are still a subject of scientific debate. Scientific ...

From two weeks onwards, feather development in the embryos partially returned to normal. The chicks with the altered pathway ...

Scientists uncovered a key genetic pathway in the origin of feathers, but they found that evolution is stubborn in turning ...

Scientists now believe that feathers didn’t just appear suddenly in birds. Instead, they evolved step by step from much ...

Feathers, essential for thermoregulation, flight, and communication in birds, originate from simple appendages known as proto-feathers, which were present in certain dinosaurs.By studying embryonic ...

The two species share a remarkable biological past. Our palaeontologist Professor Paul Barrett explains how this understanding of dinosaur evolution is transforming the way scientists think. Birds ...

A large boulder used as decoration in a rural Australian high school’s foyer is actually covered in dinosaur footprints ... dotted with what looked like chicken footprints—albeit chickens ...

You can see where feathers evolved, where wings evolved, where these dinosaurs got smaller and smaller. You can map all of those things out and that can tell you the narrative of how evolution ...

"Right from the start, we had this idea that this might be related to the evolution of photosynthesis ... In other words, "the chicken and the egg were at the same time," Elling said.
