Of 300-plus species of hummingbirds lives in central and south america, all experts agree that they had never been in eurasia.
A discovery of fragile bones show that hummingbirds were farther-flung, the problem is where early h evolved and why the european ones became extinct

The new fossil is the first modern looking hummingbird. Details as below, the size and details of specimen
