What drove bird evolution?

So you're still a bit off in your Brontosaurus story.Brontosaurus and Apatosaurus are not the same animal. In fact, Brontosaurus never was an animal.It is correct that what was originally called 'Brontosaurus' was an Apatosaurus skeleton with a Camarasaurus skull (clearly the wrong type of skull, even). When a correct 'Brontosaurus' skull was placed upon the model to correct the error, it was shortly thereafter discovered that the animal in question had been named 'Apatosaurus' in the scientific literature a scant few years before it was named 'Brontosaurus'.The latter name was simply published in a more prominent journal and, as is often the case, it was overlooked for years that the same genus was being described. Law of primacy of naming within the scientific community gave prevalence to 'Apatosaurus' at that point, in the late 80's, I believe.Sometimes the law of primacy isn't, in fact, followed. In this case it was. It doesn't seem as much like a law as an arbitrary decision. A case in point is that of the red imported fire ant, which, being the most intensely studied insect in the field of entomology, has thus far continued to keep its incorrect, though more popular, name.

So I just read your June 21 response to the initial question of the Topic 'What drove bird evolution?'The only response to it that I can fathom is:"Why are you such a pompous asshole who feels the need to belittle, line by line, an earnest question from someone seeking education and/or information?"or possibly:"What is wrong with you that you feel the need to be cruel to a request for understanding?"or then again:"You certainly did a damned good job of explaining things. I know that I, as well as, I assume, many others, have a far greater understanding of the concept of evolution now that you've given absolutely no information. It's really great to not be educated by someone who likes to make fun of others' lack of information while simultaneously not providing any information his/herself, therefore superficially justifying his/her attack simply because it is an attack, without substantiating the potential that he/she has any actual information."but most likely:"Huh. Even if this person isn't totally ignorant of the subject he/she is making pretenses of knowing so well, his/her absolute ignorance in the ways of socialized human behavior lead me to believe he/she to be little more than a chimp in a chair pounding the keys."Grow up a bit before you post your ignorance to a public forum.
