New Developmental Evidence Clarifies the Evolution of Wrist Bones in the Dinosaur–Bird Transition
From early dinosaurs with as many as nine wrist bones, modern birds evolved to develop only four ossifications. Their identity is uncertain, with different labels used in palaeontology and developmental biology. We examined embryos of several species and studied chicken embryos in detail through a n...
