In fact, the owl hybrid shown is a "sparred owl", i.e. a cross between spotted and barred owls. Thus, these are not different genera, but closely related species of the same genus.

The ivory rods that are pointed were most likely used for butchering large megafauna. we used similar pins when I was young to clean large elk when they could not be lifted. We have found these all over the rivers here in Florida especially around mastodon skeletons. Most likely people would use this to hold the skin back and pin it to itself so they could access the carcass.

In the far distant future, millions of years from now, humans and all contemperary spieces are long gone, and the archeologists of the newly evolved squidmen uncover several fosils of modern dogs. Will they be able to imagine that all those different fosils are really different breeds of one single spieces intentionally bred into a vast variety of forms, or will they just assume its all different spieces?

It appears "Wokeness" is alive and well in our "Scientific/Archeological" hallowed halls of our nation's Universities. They DENY the Solutrean hypothesis because it offends "Native Americans" who just can't allow us White, low lifes, to believe the first peoples to arrive in North America were from Europe. They SAY its "impossible" for ancient peoples to cross the Atlantic following the ice sheets....but in the same breath they now claim the people from Siberia probably...ALSO... came by boat because the Glacier coverage of Alaska had no open path way.

Why can't dinosaurs and reptiles be birds?
@mintakamothkind26 күн бұрын
Reptiles and dinosaurs both existed before birds and there is fossil evidence showing the divergence of birds from the rest of the dinosaurs. The evolution of dinosaurs is messy and the phylogeny is still somewhat unclear, but we believe they are part of a branch of reptiles called Archosaurs, which includes the most recent common ancestor of crocodiles and birds and all of its descendants. We call this a clade; Dinosaurs are a clade, so their grouping includes their most recent common ancestor and all of its descendants, and this would include birds. This is why birds are, cladistically speaking, Dinosaurs, and therefore Reptiles. I hope this isn't too confusing.

Birds are dinosaurs and reptiles but most evidence points to trex not having feathers. Possibly as a juvenile but not as an adult or sub adult.

🤔 Good point @ellisnorn259 The biological sciences, especially taxonomy, especially of prehistoric species, is an ever-changing science, as we learn more details about the animals /organisms. All the books I read growing up basically said that dinosaurs are types of reptiles and birds descended from dinosaurs, but are basically their own thing. Also, there were 2 major divisions of dinosaurs: reptile-like dinosaurs and the bird-like reptiles. (Mostly based on hip joints if I remember...) And dinosaurs were a pretty different set of reptiles from the ones we know today. Kind of like cats and anteaters are both mammals... Then we have modern day birds that descended from dinosaur ancestors, & that evolution started when dinosaurs were still around but I think (someone can fact check me on this but) it took quite a long time to get to the toothless fellows we'd all recognize as a "normal" bird.... So now this question & previous answer plus the increasing # of discoveries of feathered dinosaurs has me wondering , Were the"bird-like dinosaurs" actually early birds, just, like, dino- birds? Maybe for millions of years half the dino population were really a bunch of flightless birds running around...... :) Edit: Scrolling down there are at least 2 videos about dinosaurs > birds evolution/ taxonomy. Maybe I'll come back later with some new insights :)
@catpoke955727 күн бұрын
No, they are not. Reptiles evolved first, then dinosaurs. Birds are an offshoot from dinosaurs though, this is true. All dinosaurs are a type of reptile, which is actually the main reason why we know birds are reptiles now, since we know they're dinosaurs now.

Theory: maybe the ,"Ancient One's", of the now ,"America's",have always been the true native peoples. Instead of coming from another land, they could have populated near the coastlines of America's. As the water rose they moved inland and that's why all artifacts date back to a similar time.Well the same time at numerous locations around the America's which would be impossible if people's traveled from the same route to inhabit the America's.
