Hi NewYorkCityBoy,
Welcome to the forum.
You already seem to have asked some of these questions on one of the human-chimp genetics threads, where in and of themselves they are off topic. As an opening post this is fairly short, I'd recommend that instead of trying to start a new thread you use the search funciton to find an already extant thread on birds and dinosaurs, such as the
Archaeopteryx and Dino-Bird Evolution thread, on which to ask these questions.
So as an OP I'm going to reject this, but don't be afraid to ask more questions.
TTFN,
AW
