SUMMARY:The Early Evolution of Birds and why they survived the demise of th
 e dinosaurs
DESCRIPTION:\n\nZoom Details:\n\nEarly Evolution of Birds\, Zoom Link\nDr. 
 Daniel Field Cambridge University\nDr Field is an evolutionary biologist a
 nd vertebrate palaeontologist at Cambridge University where he is Director
  of Studies for Earth Sciences\, University Assistant Professor and Strick
 land Curator of Ornithology. He is interested in the evolutionary origins 
 of birds and other tetrapod groups. In 2020 he published the work which he
  and his team had done in discovering Asteriornis maastrichtensis (aka "th
 e Wonderchicken")\, the oldest-known modern bird fossil and an early relat
 ive of the group that gave rise to living chickens and ducks.\n\nDaniel wi
 ll be talking about this work and how birds survived and diversified follo
 wing the mass extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs. This includes looking
  at aspects such as how the modern bird skull evolved into its distinctive
  form. Daniel’s studies include the use of fossil\, anatomical and molec
 ular data and his talk promises to give us a very up-to-date insight into 
 this fascinating field of research.\n\n
