Dr Ostrander has already used dogs to track down the genes behind certain cancers that the species shares with people, and to work out the dog family tree. - 现在问题来了,为什么在庞大的恐龙族谱中,有这样一个分支会先进化出如此古怪的外表而不是翅膀呢?
That did raise the question, though, of why one twig of the great dinosaur tree had developed such strange outer vestments, even before it developed wings. - 再看看一个在族谱中较遥远的动物――传说中扑食大象的大鹏鸟,这种动物与神话中的长角动物同样是古生物学中虚构部分。
