Panel One
Remex: Hey, Ebeff, here's something you might want to see.
Panel Two

The phylogeny shown in the last panel is a combination of wacky fringe hypotheses and outdated info.

ReplyDeleteProbably not worth it; how many people take seriously the idea that dinosaurs are not monophyletic? XD It's mostly a fringe hypothesis not endorsed by any professionals and doesn't even garner attention from the general public, and for the better.
ReplyDeleteI might cover BAND/MANIAC sometime though.
I am tired of people calling pterosaurs dinosaurs (major pet peeve.)
ReplyDeleteTrue. Although I'm even more annoyed by the apparent inability to accept that birds are dinosaurs.
