The Origin of Birds — HHMI BioInteractive Video
In the second film of the Great Transitions trilogy, paleontologist Julia Clarke takes us on a journey to uncover the evidence that birds are dinosaurs.
The discovery of Archaeopteryx in a quarry in Germany in the early 1860s provided the first clue that birds descended from reptiles. But what kind of reptile? In the last 40 years, scientists have identified many shared features between birds and two-legged carnivorous dinosaurs called theropods.
The film illustrates many of the practices of science, including asking important questions, formulating and testing hypotheses, analyzing and interpreting evidence, and revising explanations as new evidence becomes available.

From Dinosaurs to Birds: The Remarkable Evolutionary Journey Unveiled | Dinosaur Documentary
Dinosaurs are not extinct. Although the mighty Tyrannosaurus won't make an appearance on your morning commute to work, you won't see a pack of troodontids leap over your back garden fence, and the vast herds of hadrosaurs are a thing of the past - dinosaurs still walk among us in the form of birds. All birds are descended from theropod dinosaurs.
This is not just a theory but a scientifically proven fact. Birds are not related to dinosaurs - they are dinosaurs. Avian dinosaurs. With the End Cretaceous, or KPg extinction, all of the non avian dinosaurs perished and became extinct, leaving behind a world of relatively small creatures. Among them were the feathered ancestors of the theropods, some of which fluttered about from branch to branch, some of which stalked the forests on long, ear...

Experts are still arguing over whether Archaeopteryx was a true bird, or a paravian dinosaur, or some other kind of dino. But regardless of what side you’re on, how did this fascinating, bird-like animal relate to today’s birds? It turns out its teeth were a clue that this story goes all the way back to what we now call the non-avian dinosaurs.

Paleo 101: Theropod Dinosaurs and the Origin of Birds
Preview of a five-lesson massive open online course (available January 25, 2016 through coursera.org) from the University of Alberta teaching a comprehensive overview of the origins of birds. This course examines the anatomy, diversity, and evolution of theropod dinosaurs in relation to the origin of birds. Students explore various hypotheses for the origin of flight.
The University of Alberta boasts some of the world's best dinosaur researchers and also holds one of the most extensive fossil collections available for research. This, coupled with our proximity to some of the richest dinosaur bone beds on the planet and our modern laboratories, means we continue to attract top students and researchers to our dinosaur programs. Simply put, UAlberta is one of the best places in the world to...

How did feathers evolve? - Carl Zimmer
View full lesson: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-did-feathers-evolve-carl-zimmer
To look at the evolution of modern bird feathers, we must start a long time ago, with the dinosaurs from whence they came. We see early incarnations of feathers on dinosaur fossils, and remnants of dinosaurs in a bird's wish bone. Carl Zimmer explores the stages of evolution and how even the reasons for feathers have evolved over millions of years.
Lesson by Carl Zimmer, animation by Armella Leung.

Origins: The Genius of Birds
Join Origins host Ray Heiple as he welcomes, Dr. Paul Nelson for, “The Genius of Birds.” Place a bird feeder in your backyard, and before long cardinals, sparrows, woodpeckers, and maybe even hummingbirds will come zipping by. We can take these amazing creatures for granted, but each one represents a stunning solution to aeronautical engineering problems. Does the undirected evolutionary process of natural selection truly explain bird origins – or does their existence point to an intelligent designer?

Why Birds Are Dinosaurs
Birds are dinosaurs that have survived to the present day. Though they obviously have some unique traits, they are not as different from their extinct relatives as one might think. This video breaks down some of the differences and similarities.

The latest genetic clues and fossil finds suggest that at least three lineages of modern birds arose during the Cretaceous period and survived the mass extinction.

Dinosaurs are not extinct. Although the mighty Tyrannosaurus won't make an appearance on your morning commute to work, you won't see a pack of troodontids leap over your back garden fence, and the vast herds of hadrosaurs are a thing of the past - dinosaurs still walk among us in the form of birds. All birds are descended from theropod dinosaurs.
This is not just a theory but a scientifically proven fact. Birds are not related to dinosaurs - they are dinosaurs. Avian dinosaurs.

Among them were the feathered ancestors of the theropods, some of which fluttered about from branch to branch, some of which stalked the forests on long, earthbound legs. If you look outside your window right now, regardless of where you are in the world, you'll probably see a bird. Depending on your location, this could be anything from a chaffinch to a cardinal, a gull to a gnatchatcher, a buzzard to a bird-of-paradise.
Over ten thousand species exist today, and they compose, arguably, our most beautiful animals - brightly coloured plumages and beautiful songs have inspired naturalists, birdwatchers, poets, authors, musicians and painters over the course of human history, but it is only relatively recent science that places these amazing creatures in the same family tree as the now extinct, non avian theropod dinosaurs.

Preview of a five-lesson massive open online course (available January 25, 2016 through coursera.org) from the University of
Alberta teaching a comprehensive overview of the origins of birds. This course examines the anatomy, diversity, and evolution of theropod dinosaurs in relation to the origin of birds. Students explore various hypotheses for the origin of flight.
The University of Alberta boasts some of the world's best dinosaur researchers and also holds one of the most extensive fossil collections available for research. This, coupled with our proximity to some of the richest dinosaur bone beds on the planet and our modern laboratories, means we continue to attract top students and researchers to our dinosaur programs. Simply put, UAlberta is one of the best places in the world to study paleontology.

The story of dinosaurs' disappearance is a famous one. Less familiar is the tale of the dinosaurs that were left behind. Watch the animation to find out what allowed birds to survive when all other dinosaurs died out in the Cretaceous extinction.

00:00 Intro
00:07 Did an asteroid wipe out the dinosaurs?
00:40 Why did avian dinosaurs survive the mass extinction?
1:50 How many species of birds are there today?

To look at the evolution of modern bird feathers, we must start a long time ago, with the dinosaurs from whence they came. We see early incarnations of feathers on dinosaur fossils, and remnants of dinosaurs in a bird's wish bone. Carl Zimmer explores the stages of evolution and how even the reasons for feathers have evolved over millions of years.
Lesson by Carl Zimmer, animation by Armella Leung.

Join Origins host Ray Heiple as he welcomes, Dr. Paul Nelson for, “The Genius of Birds.” Place a bird feeder in your backyard, and before long cardinals, sparrows, woodpeckers, and maybe even hummingbirds will come zipping by. We can take these amazing creatures for granted, but each one represents a stunning solution to aeronautical engineering problems. Does the undirected evolutionary process of natural selection truly explain bird origins – or does their existence point to an intelligent designer?
