This week's question comes from the welcome screen in Windows 10 Home: And the answer is... Well, yes…and no. Due to the fact that dinosaurs didn't know how to write, type, or make audio/video recordings, we only know as much about them as their fossilized remains can tell us. And some of the remains of certain types of dinosaurs show that they could have been either feathered or maybe bristled. Not necessarily winged and capable of flight. But perhaps covered in decorative fluffy feathers. Or wearing capes or crests of feather-like stuff.
Also note that in the course of one or two seagull generations, or the equivalent of a single human generation, scientific understanding of the characteristics of dinosaurs has evolved just as much as scientists seem to think dinosaurs evolved over millions of years.
So much for "settled science," huh?
