March Indoor Meeting – Dr. Bhart-Anjan Bhullar – The Dragon in the Dove: How Dinosaurs Became Birds and How Birds Remain Dinosaurs
March 14, 2019 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Birds are living dinosaurs. The legacy of their monstrous forebears remains in the way they walk, fly, eat, and think. It remains in their embryos, which assume a dinosaur-like form before they transform into hatchling birds. New fossil discoveries and new information about embryonic development have overturned some of our previous assumptions about the early history of birds. Dr. Bhart-Anjan Bhullar, a Professor and Curator of Paleontology at Yale University, will show you how the avian body came to be during the age of dinosaurs, and how it is built anew, every generation, within the egg.
