The 'Otto' specimen is probably the best preserved dinosaur specimen anyone has ever discovered. I've seen it in detail. While sitting next to Helmut :)
Great video Darwinsgift. You explained in a good way, very simple to understand. Thank you!!! if people fail to understand they may have an stone as brain, which may be physically impossible or they have...some kind of faith, certainly religious.
Keep up the good work there. By the way don't worry about the ok thing, It is a natural thing, somehow to have too severe self critisicim. I realise that quite all of my days are ... ok, you know, rigth, days!!! and who cares!
Great stuff, you earned an extra subscriber. Might I suggest using the term hominin instead of hominid, while not universally accepted I believe this is more accurate these days.
Speaking of late Jurassic/early Cretaceous Europe, I've been reading a bit about dwarf dinosaur species on islands lately. I was particularly taken by a dwarf sauropod, about the size of a cow.
@WildwoodClaire1 - Indeed this was the case, they were small enough to become food for pterosaurs. Dwarf elephants also evolved on mediterranean islands after it became flooded.
Wait a bit. I thought birds evolved from micro-raptors. If your microraptor was eating modern birds then when did birds evolve? ... or is this a old-style microraptor from the late cretaceous?
@goliathprime - The sub species of the microraptors evolved into avians yet they did not become entirely extinct in other evolutionary directions and continued on. It may be similar to an older style microraptor in the same way that a chimp may be similar to our ancestors but both have evolved from that common link.
were the non therapodic (idk what to call them) also warm blooded... and how exactly can intermetiet states of the therapodic foot be selected for, and what happened to the 4th/5th finger(I presume what they had before would be a thumb that is why i said forth)?
Fascinating! Thanks!

I believe Hominini is a subgroup of the Hominidae.

Glad I could help! You should be able to add a little text to your video to correct it.
