An engaging and interesting walk through the theropod family tree. It takes in the major non-avian species whilst looking at the traits that took them down the path to modern birds. Very much enjoyed.

This course was great! It explains everything clearly, and it keeps you involved by asking questions about the material, and keeps you amused with some interesting anecdotes. Highly suggested by me!

We've got some extreme quality content here, as always when Philip J Curry is involved. The new student that presents most of the videos has great educational skills.

This one was tough but I learned so much. Well worth the cost and the time. Who knows, maybe I'll find the missing link between avians and dinosaura.

Me encanto, detallan toda la relación histórica con los distintos cambios y adaptaciones de los dinosaurios de los cuales derivan las aves actuales.

Recomiendo talmente este curso, en el puedes ver los diferentes tipos de terópodos que habitaron y cual de ellos son los mas cercanos a las aves.

It's worth taking this course in order to understand not only how birds are related to dinosaurs, but also, how important they are to our world.

An excellent overview of dinosaurs and birds, the closest some of us will ever get to a paleontology class outside of enrolling in a university
