Clawing Their Way To The Top

One of the (justified?) criticisms laid before paleontology is that some of the conclusions drawn come from insufficient evidence.

Obviously, virtually everything determined from fossil evidence is, to one degree or another, an inference and subject to debate, but as the field of science expands and improves, the inferences are usually made with ever improving authority.

That said, if this article can be believed, it’s a far stretch from one claw fossil to “new species” and “new dino-bird link”.
