PROPAGANDA

Advancement of Science (AAAS):
"Whatever the ancestor of birds was, it must have had five fingers,
not the three-fingered hand of theropod dinosaurs," Feduccia said.
Scientists agree that dinosaurs developed 'hands' with digits one,
two and three… "Our studies of ostrich embryos, however, showed
conclusively that in birds, only digits two, three and four, which
correspond to the human index, middle and ring fingers, develop,
and we have pictures to prove it," said Feduccia, professor and for-
mer chair of biology at UNC. "This creates a new problem for those
who insist that dinosaurs were ancestors of modern birds. How can
a bird hand, for example, with digits two, three and four evolve

Despite being an evolutionist him-
self, Alan Feduccia opposes the
thesis that birds evolved from di-
nosaurs. By studying the develop-
ment of the pentadactyl forelimbs
of ostrich embryos in the egg he
once again revealed the impossibil-
ity of the evolutionists' claims.
