Living Dinosaurs offers a snapshot of our current understanding of
the origin and evolution of birds. After slumbering for more than a
century, avian palaeontology has been awakened by startling new
discoveries on almost every continent. Controversies about whether
dinosaurs had real feathers or whether birds were related to
dinosaurs have been swept away and replaced by new and more
difficult questions: How old is the avian lineage? How did birds
learn to fly? Which birds survived the great extinction that ended
the Mesozoic Era and how did the avian genome evolve? Answers to
these questions may help us understand how the different kinds of
living birds are related to one another and how they evolved into
their current niches. More importantly, they may help us understand
what we need to do to help them survive the dramatic impacts of
human activity on the planet.
