Dinosaur Phylogeny

The Dinosauria are a diverse group of animals whose evolutionary tree began with a small bipedal reptile. As their diversity has been key to their survival to this day, it is this same diversity that continues to pique our interest in studying these ancient animals - from large to small, carnivorous and herbivorous, clawed, horned, spiked, and feathered. In complete guide, we explore dinosaur phylogeny using cladograms, tracing the evolutionary relationships between major groups and families, and uncovering the big picture of dinosaur evolution.
