Scientists have proposed a significant reorganisation of the dinosaur family tree, with major implications for our understanding of dinosaur origins and evolution. The collaborative study between the ...

The dinosaur family tree may need to be radically rewritten — and even uprooted and replanted elsewhere, a new analysis of about 75 different species shows.

For more than 150 million years, science didn’t notice a small, fast-moving dinosaur that lived in the floodplains of ...

The dinosaur family tree, used by paleontologists and dinosaur buffs for the past 130 years, has just been transformed. In the old family tree, there are two major groups of dinosaurs: the bird ...

Molecules from the 20-million-year-old teeth of a rhino relative are among the oldest ever sequenced, opening tantalizing ...

If confirmed, old branches of the dinosaur family tree may be pruned off and new ones created. "We completely reshape the dinosaur family tree," said study lead author Matthew Baron of the United ...

A new dinosaur family tree floated earlier this year isn't quite right, and the old tree, which researchers have accepted as canon for 130 years, isn't much better, a new study finds. Rather, the ...

The dinosaur family tree has two main branches: the bird-hipped dinosaurs and the lizard-hipped dinosaurs. Paleontologists have built upon this idea for nearly 130 years. Textbook writers know it.

Baron’s tree rewrites the first chapters of the dinosaur story in several ways. It suggests that they first arose around 247 million years ago, slightly earlier than the 231 to 243 million year ...

The dinosaur family tree is about 130 years old, but it may not stand the test of time. Based on a new study of dozens of fossils and tens of thousands of specific anatomical features, ...

When Steve Brusatte heard that a 26-year-old PhD student had radically redrawn the dinosaur family tree – ripping up 130 years of scientific orthodoxy in the process – his first thought was ...
