Published 6 months ago
Description
Herrerasaurus, one of the oldest known dinosaurs, was expected to be primitive, but instead was discovered to be fully formed and highly sophisticated. Its advanced jaws and teeth contradict evolutionary expectations and support the idea of well-designed creatures from the beginning.
