Inquiry: Dinosaurs and Birds - Luis Chiappe


How do you like your dinosaur? Southern Fried? Au Vin? Fricasseed? You may think that’s just a chicken in your pot, but recent studies in cladistics and new discoveries in paleontology show that all of today’s living birds are in fact dinosaurs! Skeptical? Tune in tonight when we talk with LUIS M. CHIAPPE, paleontologist for the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County about his stunning and revelatory new book GLORIFIED DINOSAURS: THE ORIGIN AND EARLY EVOLUTION OF BIRDS. You’ll never look at a pigeon the same way again!
