Online Courses: AMNH Seminars on Science: The Link Between Dinosaurs and Birds

Evolution & Classification

How do we know that birds are dinosaurs?

Examine the overwhelming evidence that a group of dinosaurs escaped extinction and we see these living dinosaurs every day. We call them birds! Authored by world-class experts at the frontier of paleontology, this six-week online course introduces you to the world's largest collection of vertebrate fossils, looks at how fossils are collected and prepared, and describes how scientists use evolutionary reasoning to show that birds are dinosaurs.
