Fossilized brains could reveal how birds first took flight a hundred million years ago
We know that birds evolved from dinosaurs around 150 million years ago , but we still do n’t know how birds first gained the ability to aviate . But a part of the bird mastermind that verify flight could work this evolutionary riddle . Towards the tooshie of birds ’ brain is the flocculus , a substructure of the cerebellum that wield visual and balance information during flight of stairs , work it potential for birds to know where other physical object are located while they ’re pilot and avoid any midair crashes ....
