27、恐龙化石
  考古学里面,有人不同意说鸟的祖先是某某恐龙,因为化石时间上不吻合。不过,后来发现了新化石,时间就吻合了。 又有人异议说,那种恐龙没有鸟的hollow bone,不过后来又挖到新化石了,就又证明了。 再有人异议说,鸟的lung和恐龙的lung结构不同,(鸟的适合高空飞嘛),这个目前还cannot say whether true or false, 因为没有相关化石。 有道题,我就选了lung。 还有问文章说明了什么,选了theory不一定是错的,只是化石发现时间比较慢。(by chensixu23)
 
  考古已确认
  Although many lines of evidence indicate that birds evolved from ground-dwelling theropod dinosaurs, some scientists remain unconvinced. They argue that theropods appeared too late to have given rise to birds, noting that Archaeopteryx lithographica – the oldest known bird – appears in the fossil record about 150 million years ago, whereas the fossil remains of various nonavian maniraptor theropods – the closest known relatives of birds – date only to about 115 million years ago. But investigators have now uncovered bones that evidently belong to nonavian maniraptors dating to the time of Archaeopteryx. In any case, failure to findfossils of a predicted kind does not rule out their existence in an undiscovered deposit. Skeptics also argue that the fused clavicles (the “wishbone”) of birds differ from the unfused clavicles of theropods. This objection was reasonable when only early theropod clavicles had been discovered, but fossilized theropod clavicles that look just like the wishbone of Archaeopteryx have now been unearthed. Finally, some scientists argue that the complex lungs of birds could not have evolved from theropod lungs, an assertion that cannot be supported or falsified at the moment, because no fossil lungs are preserved in the paleontological record.
