>>1988598>These two groups of birds diverged evolutionaryBest part is when you get mad at 'millennials' ruining science (most of the scientists debating and studying ornithology and bird evolution and phylogenetics on a grander scale are the same ones that did so when 'millennials' were children) and then prove that you yourself are quite the drooling idiot.
Yes, palaeognaths are divergent from neognaths, what a fucking discovery you've made there. It's just that both of these lineages are far more divergent from any other family of Cretaceous avialans than they were or are from each other.
>Let's also not forget their distribution is concurrent with the existence of GondwanaWhat about Pseudocrypturus cercanaxius, an extinct palaeognath and proto-ratite that was discovered in the Eocene fossil beds of the Green River Formation, Lincoln County, Wyoming? Doesn't sound very 'muh Gondwana' to me.
>This is very obviously at least two separate lineages of related animals.This is something that has been known for over 100 years, you stupid fuck.
