We only have two people working on the series (and all other videos we release) for the most part unless we've taken on an intern or two for a semester. Because we like to be as accurate as possible, and rely on animation, it takes us much longer to achieve the quality we'd like. It's a quantity of videos in a year vs quality trade we're willing to make until we're able to hire more full time staff to help things go faster(non-profit life, yo).

31:20 One of the best segments in the entire series. The complete bombardment of information regarding the evolution of dinosaurs and the traits that make all of them unique animals is among the best ways to end a video about Archaeopteryx. This ties into the Dinosaur Revolution, where just because they're old and dead doesn't mean they are just pawns on the pathway to birds. It's hard to explain exactly what makes it so fantastic to me, but it goes along the lines of: Okay, an animal could have this feature, or that feature, or any other one, but following any of these lineages reveals an entire tree with animals containing that feature, and continuing along a branch reveals animals with a new trait, and others with more new traits. Starting off with a seed, and growing into a giant tree. I guess I'm just amazed at how varied this tree of life is where no matter WHAT part of the tree a creature is on, there's something unique and complicated that cannot be found on any other part of the tree. I feel as if every entry in this series expresses more of the scientific backdrop, like the explanation of Cladogram construction, though I also like the idea of a "story", like the bone bed in the last episode. Inference of a detailed history based on evidence is very interesting. Always fun to learn things you didn't know, especially finding the things you thought were right actually weren't! Great video Steven and the crew, can't wait until the next one.

Fantastic. Just a little precision, the London specimen have actually a partial head preserved. It was revealed by a work (I don't remember when but before 2000) of a recent preparator that was allowed to cut a part of the archaeopteryx block to expose the parieto-occipital region of a partially preserved skull in the lower left part of the block (Angela Milner). For flying ability, there is always a misconception if Archaeopteryx is a bird a bird would have a wishbone like a bird. But we knows an animal what is flying extremely efficiently without any sternal modification, it is bat. They have a traditional mammal sternum and fly perfectly. Of course the myology and biomechanics is not the same but it is interesting to see how some structures considered as essential are in fact not completely. I don't say, that archaeopteryx could fly as a bat, certainly not, but I only say be careful the animal was possibly more efficient in the air than we can actually demonstrate. There is no doubt that if we have no modern relative for bats and have found only fossils that we have considered them as poor flyers. As I have studied the large ornithocheiroid pterosaurs a lot of misconception have been used for long time especially that the sternum was not developed enough to insert muscles necessary for power flight. We knows today that it is false. All the best.

It is important to emphasize the difference between paleoart and paleontography. Paleontography is the attempt to faithfully reconstruct extinct life forms according to their anatomy, behavior and etc. It is a serious form of reconstituting a species/specimen/ecosystem. Paleoart on the other side has a more subjective and speculative trend in reconstituting a life form. Art is but a representation of what's happening inside your mind, having no responsibility with reality. Paleoart creates movie monsters, Paleontography revives real creatures. Obs.: my childhood dream is to be a paleontographer

Great to see yet another awesome video from you guys - good job! ;) There's one thing that really bugs me about cladistics, though - why is it that the basal forms of certain clades are always implied to lack any descendants? I mean, I'm willing to buy that birds didn't evolve from _Archaeopteryx_, for example, but something had to have existed at the same time as _Archaeopteryx_ that *did* evolve into birds - but what was it? Is the implication that only a select few _Archaeopteryx_ are ancestral to birds, and hence the rest of them hit a dead end? Because that's actually not a bad idea, in my opinion. So yeah, if anyone's able to explain this all to me, feel free to let me know! :)
@StevenBellettini7 жыл бұрын
You're pretty much right. The options are adapt, move, or die out: some population of that common ancestor evolved into _Archaeopteryx_, and another population into whatever the next node is. This is why I had to put '_hypothetical_ common ancestor' in the diagrams. It's just really statistically unlikely that one of the handful of dinosaur species we have record of was *the one* that went on to evolve into new forms.
@ARCtheCartoonMaster7 жыл бұрын
Steven Bellettini Oh yeah, I guess that makes sense, especially when you consider that only a handful of organisms fossilise, meaning there were probably millions of entire species out there that were never preserved in the fossil record. :( So Yeah, we can't just assume that any one organism is *the* ancestor, but rather a close relative of said ancestor. By the way, thanks for replying! It's always exciting whenever a bigger KZbinr responds to me! :D

i love these videos, and i hope anyone who gives them a thumbs down is living an unpleasant life of painful rashes and constant, unfulfilling stickiness. i also continue to hope for a tongue-in-cheek dino-riders YDAW

Do the Argentinosaursus please! (If they even have toys of them)

This was one of the first dinosaurs that got me really interested, since as someone who lives in the south of the UK i'd visit the London Natural History Museum a lot as a kid and growing up, i mean i still do now when i have the time to spend a day there when possible, and that Archaeopteryx fossil was always something i could just stand and stare at for ages.

The Natural History Museum was always good as a kid. It was also very early in reorganising it’s main display on the basis of cladistics (late 70’s if my memory is correct, but it might have been 81 or 82) so even growing up in the 70’s/80’s one of the takeaway messages was birds are dinosaurs.

YAY!! \o/ another YDAW!! I'm still trying to find a Lioplueridon, not having much luck.... I would like to hear what you think about the Phylogeny Explorer Project..... (btw, nice beard Steven....suits you well; well on your way to looking like a proper paleontologist. Now you need a shabby dusty fedora!...)

Awesome! A comeback! I'd like to request a video on an azhdarchid of some sort, preferably Hatzegopteryx or Volgadraco, as I find this family of pterosaurs very interesting and I don't really see them featured... well... anywhere really. Quetzalcoatlus gets some time in the spotlight occasionally, but until Jurassic World: the Game came out, I didn't even know that the Alanqa existed. A video on anyone in the azhdarchid family would be greatly loved and appreciated.

People who complain about scientists "not making up their mind" don't understand how science works.

For extra irony, if a scientist is stuck backtracking the issue is actually that they made up their mind too soon!

Nothing better than watching the history of dinosaurs figuring out flight than watching that history with my tiny flying dinosaur.

"Because it was a bird..." no more? It's been reclassified as a non-avian avialan. Like Balaur and Anchiornis.

Some consider avialans as birds though

Maybe. I mean yeah, there's definitely arguments to be made for avialaens being birds. But you could argue the same for averaptora or eumaniraptora or paraves.... or coelurosaurs. However, Archaeopteryx has been distinctly removed from the crown group and the consensus appears to be that it's a non-avian dinosaur. And for clarity of communication, it makes the most sense to just not refer to anything from outside of the crown group as a bird anymore.

blackholecat The debate of classification goes on. The line between bird and dinosaur gets really blurry.

thegeekgroup, "life does not give us that luxury, life is a messy experiment" So I guess you could say life uh . . . life finds a way right?
