Summary

Description
English: In 1982 paleontologist Dale Russell, curator of vertebrate fossils at the National Museum of Canada in Ottawa, conjectured a possible evolutionary path that might have been taken by bipedial predator dinosaurs if they had not all perished in the K/T extinction event 65 million years ago. A few scientists have followed Russell's idea, but many are highly skeptical.
