Dear Glenn,

I just saw the "picture" of Archaeoraptor in the paper this morning. Glenn
this is an honest question, if you analyze all the presently existing
animals, can you find a chain of them and say that one evolved from the
other, if you were to find their fossils? Please analyze the data with no
theory in mind.

Regards,

Moorad
