Yes
Theropod dinosaurs for one.
Ornithischians with a hip structure similar to that of present day birds.
Some dinosaurs, like theropods, had a hip structure that was more bird-like than mammal-like, with a pubis bone that pointed backwards like in birds. This adaptation allowed for more efficient bipedal movement and likely contributed to their agility and speed.
vestigial organs such as a tail bone in humans and a hip bone in whales. also, the skeletal structure of wings of birds, flippers of whales, and hands of humans are all very very similar in structure.
Dinosaurs were divided into two big groups: ornistichia (bird hip) and saurischia (lizard hip). The confussing part is that scientists believe that birds evolved from a group of therapods similar to small velociraptors and therapods are saurischia.
because some dinosaurs like the velociraptor have been discovered with feathers. and even some dinosaurs in there bone structure have the shape of birds. like the t-rex has the hip structure of a lizard and the velociraptor had the hip structure of a modern day bird
No, birds didn't evolve from lizards, but they did evolve from dinosaurs, a different group of reptiles. Dinosaurs are different from lizards especially because of their hip structure. Birds descended from a group of dinosaurs known as theropods (bipedal carnivores)
No evidence links birds to mammals in evolution. However, there is evidence that birds evolved from dinosaurs. In fact, some biologists call birds "living dinosaurs".Birds have a similar hip structure to one class of dinosaurs, the ornithischians, but are actually more closely related to "lizard-hipped" or Saurischian dinosaurs, an order which includes the theropods such as Tyrannosaurus rex. It is now known from fossil evidence that some theropods had feathers, not only for warmth but also for display. They would have looked remarkably like birds, apart from the inability to fly.The lines that led to mammals and dinosaurs separated about 325 million years ago with actual mammals and dinosaurs appearing at roughly the same time about 235 million years ago. The first birds evolved from dinosaurs about 220 million years ago.
Dinosaurs are divided into two main groups based on their hip structure: Saurischians and Ornithiscians. Saurischia means "lizard hipped" and Ornithischia means "bird hipped". Saurischian hips had the pubis pointing forward and the ischium pointing backward. All the carnivorous dinosaurs (the theropods) and sauropods were saurischians. Ornithischian hips had the pubis pointing backward and parallel to the ischium. They include all the other dinosaur groups such as the ceratopsians and the ornithopods. Ironically, birds do not descend from this type of dinosaur. Instead, they are descended from the theropods, who were saurischians.
NO!
The meniscus in the knee joint has a structure and function similar to the acetabular labrum in the hip joint. Both structures are fibrocartilaginous discs that provide stability, cushioning, and aid in distributing forces within their respective joints.
