"It is intriguing to contemplate that perhaps avian flight, like
aircraft evolution, went through a biplane stage before the monoplane
was introduced, said Chatterjee. It seems likely that Microraptor
invented the biplane 125 million years before the Wright 1903 Flyer."

Only, monoplane flyers were old news by 125 Mya. If the four-winged
configuration is older, Micro was a late straggler.
