> Up there with chickens descended from the T Rex for me.

Archaeopteryx lived in the Jurassic, so it's not really possible that chicken descended from the T Rex. They're cousins though.



Actually, Archaeopteryx is not an ancestor to chickens either...

Archaeopteryx is offshoot in the evolutionary path leading to birds. It shares a common ancestor with modern birds but branched off in a direction that did not lead directly to them.


The Great Chicken God decries your heresy!
