New admin
Hello guys, My name is Daniel and I'm the new admin around here. Let me tell you a bit about myself.
I have been interested in Paleontology ever since I was 6 years old, after watching the Walking With documentary series. I didn't have any way to connect to the Paleontological community other than reading forum posts, commenting on videos on Paleontology, and reading books. Around the time I was 14 I switched from Religious to Evolutionist, and also discovered Discord, a place where I could finally communicate with the community! In those 2 years, the community got bigger and better, but Discord was pretty much my only social media, so I deci
Anyone interested in admining?
I've been busy lately and haven't had time to check deviantART on a regular basis and unfortunately that means I've missed a few deviation and join requests and let them expire which is a real shame. I would like to take on a few more admins to keep on top of things. Let me know in the comments if you are interested in being an admin.

So apparently pterosaurs had feathers too.

Obviously this has huge implication for the evolution of feathers as it pushes their origin right back to the early Triassic. It seems that dinosaurs and pterosaurs must have shared a common feathered ancestor!
Alpha movie reviews
Sony Pictures recently released Alpha: a period epic about the beginning of the relationship between humans and canines, a major turning point in the evolution of our species. I had the privelege of seeing this film on the big screen today and let me tell you, it is breathtaking! A visually stunning and refreshingly accurate picture of life in the Pleistocene right down to the authentic Solutrean spear points. This is the first Hollywood fim since Quest for Fire (1981) that has attempted to accurately recreate paleolithic life and our understanding of paleoanthropology has come a long way since then.
Reception for the film has been glowingly
