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.

Is there scientific evidence that Adam and Eve were the first humans?
There is no scientific evidence to support the story of Adam and Eve as being the first humans. The theory of evolution, supported by vast evidence from multiple scientific disciplines, indicates that humans evolved over millions of years from ape-like ancestors. The story of Adam and Eve is generally regarded as a religious myth rather than a historical account.
What is the history of man's evolution?
It is the opinion of many that man did not evolve.AnswerSee links for a good start. If you have some extra money send away for a genome kit and see what your genes tell you about your ancestry. Evolution is a body of accumulated knowledge and the theories that have been developed to explain that knowledge. It is a work in progress, and work is continually being done. The best approach is to remain open-minded about this knowledge, and also about other ways to explain the existence and diversity of life on earth. Study and think, and consider science to be a process that is sometimes messy and confusing. Science does not happen the way it may be presented in most texts, with all the facts, experiments and conclusions lined up neatly with review questions and class projects carefully outlined. It is human, dangerous and indispensible.
What was found in the olduval gorge?
Pleistocene fossil remains of carthorse size sheep,rhino sized pig,gorilla sized baboon including stone age tools and skulls of early three links to homonids ancestors :Australopithecus,Homo habilis and Homo erectus.
Are humans actually just monkeys?
People did not evolve from monkeys. This is not the belief of creationists or evolutionists. Claims that people evolved from monkeys come from a popular misconception and oversimplification of the theories of human origins developed from the fossil record.Creationist belief on the origin of man:Monkeys are part of God's creation, just like people. It says in Genesis 2:7, "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being." (New King James Version [NKJV]) Unlike evolutionary theory, there is no scientific evidence for creationism.Evolutionist belief on the origin of man:Humans are evolved from an ape-like ancestor. The evolutionary paths of man, monkeys, and other modern primates split millions of years before any of these species as we know them today existed. Our evolutionary predecessors are extinct, but these species, notably members of the genus Australopithecus are believed to be much more closely related to us than monkeys.The exact details of the evolutionary line of humans is still debated, but monkeys are not on it.Evolution and the world:Nearly the entire scientific community of the world believes in Darwin's theory of Evolution, It is taught in nearly all western schools and in most middle eastern schools and nearly all Asian schools, except perhaps for religious schools. Pope John Paul II even accepted the theory of evolution although God was involved in the process.Further information on human origins can be found in the related links below.
What is the meaning of missing link?
Missing link is defined as something that is needed to complete a series, a set or a sequence. The most common use of missing link is the belief that there is a possible missing link in human development between humans and great apes.
Why don't birds experience piloerection?
Birds also experience piloerection. Piloerection is the process by which mammals get goosebumps from cold weather or excitement or fear. Birds do have the same reflex of extending their feathers out, a function of keeping themselves warm. See here the Related Links for more information.
Where do scientist look for evidence of evolution?
Scientists look for evidence of evolution in the fossil record, by studying similarities in DNA sequences among different species, by observing adaptations in living organisms, and by studying natural selection and genetic drift.
What can provide evidence of evolution?
Paleontology, evolutionary biology, molecular cell biology, biochemistry, geology, genetics, biogeography, evolutionary development and so on and so on. The evidence is there in massive amounts. talkorigins.org To start your search. Many links there. NCSE ( National Center For Science Education ) is also a good source.
What is the meaning of associative evidence?
Associative Evidence is evidence that links two separate entities, whether they are people or objects. In other words, associative evidence relates to the evidence that links a person (or object) to the scence of the crime.
What is one new line of evidence supporting evolution that scienists learned after Darwin's book was published?
One new line of evidence supporting evolution that scientists learned after Darwin's book was published is the discovery of DNA and the understanding of how genetic information is passed down from one generation to the next. DNA sequencing has provided clear evidence of the relatedness of different species and how they have evolved over time.
Why is it difficult to prove that evolution happens?
It isdifficult because there is no 100% way to know, and many other theories have been discussed. Evolution is the primary theory of the start and progression of life because the fossil evidence found all over the world. DNA evidence has also shown strong links between various organisms, proving that the organisms may share a common ancestor, but that the species evolved over time. As you can see, there is for sure evidence. Hope this helps!
What are some ways to prove evolution is wrong?
Evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, is a fact. Show evidence that this does not happen. I think you would find that very difficult to show since change in allele frequency is so easy to observe. Now, to show that the theory of evolution by natural selection is wrong, you must come up with a better explanation of evolution. So far no one has done that.
Is evolution part of creation?
Though one can claim to believe in Divinely-guided evolution, this is often not the case. The general paradigm in which Evolution is taught, is one of mere random events.Many think that science, and specifically Evolution, have proved that there is no God. They don't comprehend that even if Evolution was an unquestionable fact, it would not automatically follow that God isn't there. They also seem unaware that there are some highly-qualified scientists who do not believe in Evolution.Those wishing to look for further evidence may find these links useful:See also:Is there evidence against Evolution?God's wisdom seen in His creationsCan you show that God exists?

What do you think of the evolution of the Legend of Zelda?
there are multiple evolutions in the zelda series, there is the evolution of the games itself and the evolution of the races to name two. The evolution of the games is very interesting, I enjoyed how each game that was released had its own individual "feel" to it. But they still felt like Zelda! :) Each game had its own personality to it each time adding a new function to it. (example: skyward sword had birds to fly on while spirit tracks had trains) The evolution of the races was also cool, my favorite is the evolution of the zora. There are many theories of links between the different kinds of zora, thats why its my favorite
Who proved evolution to be true?
Evolution as an idea has existed since ancient times. The first thinkers to propose that modern lifeforms evolved from earlier forms were Greek philosophers, like Anaximander and Empedocles, living centuries BCE. Naturally, they thought that the way life and the world presented themselves to them was evidence for their hypotheses. It wasn't until Charles Darwin that a comprehensive explanation for evolution was proposed, one that consisted of falsifiable hypotheses and that was supported by independently verifiable evidence to such an extent that it defeated alternative explanations in scope and accuracy.
