Re: CHATTERJEE'S BIRD BOOK
S. Chatterjee is the sole author of The Rise of Birds. I read the first
three chapters without having read the foreward and began to fear the
focus of the entire book was Protoavis. The foreward helps put things
into context. Here the general skepticism regarding Protoavis is
addressed and it is pointed out that Chatterjee is not giving a pivotal
taxonomic position to Protoavis. He sticks to a arboreal theropod origin
for birds.
