Re: No dinosaur feathers? Say what?



Although I'm don't care much for "success gurus" like Mr. Chopra, I think what he means in this case is "the VERY FIRST feathered dinosaur" has yet to be found .

No, from the context it's clear he does not mean the oldest one, but the first to be discovered. He mentions "*Archaeoraptor*" as the only candidate so far (and then mentions it was a fake, but not that the hindlimbs and tail belong to *Microraptor* _and preserve feathers, too_.


But it's normal for Chopra to talk about things he doesn't actually know anything about. Here is the smackdown.
