"Paleontologists have tried to turn Archaeopteryx into an earth-bound, feathered dinosaur, but it's not. It is a bird, a perching bird. And no amount of 'paleobabble' is going to change that." ~ Alan Feduccia, Professor of biology at UNC Chapel Hill ("Archaeopteryx: Early Bird Catches a Can of Worms", Science, Vol. 259, 5 February 1993, p. 764)
