Evolution of Feathers and Birds – Naturalistic/Evolutionary Perspective
Introduction: The two most distinctive things about birds are that they can fly and have feathers. But have you ever wondered how feathers evolved? How complex are feathers? Could they have evolved from reptile scales? How long did it take to evolve feathers? What was their use before they enabled the bird to fly?

And that experience wasn’t limited to ourselves – we were privileged to provide countless 4th grade campers and their parents...
