FEDUCCIA: I really was not interested in the origin of birds until I
wrote a book called The Age of Birds back in 1980, for which I had to
write a chapter on bird origins. I tried to be as fair as possible, but
when I did not come down firmly on the side of the dinosaurian
origin of birds, I was viewed as a heretic . . .
If these researchers were so convinced that they were right, why did it
make a difference what I thought? Why did they get so enraged? As
the years progressed, I started looking into the problem of the origin
of birds in great detail, and everywhere I looked, it was as if we were
being asked to put a square peg in a round hole. 162
Some scientists blindly place
every fossil they find within an
imaginary evolutionary family
tree. As a result of their bias,
fossil forgeries are accepted as
evolutionary propaganda with-
out being sufficiently studied.
This distances them from any
claim to being scientific proof.
