Now it all becomes clear. Obviously those theropods that were able to brag 
successfully about their catch attracted more females. This selected for 
shoulder joints capable of allowing the forelimbs to be spread increasingly 
wider. If it wasn't for proud angling theropods, the flight stroke would 
never have been possible!
