We know it.  The Earth is more than 4.5 billion years old. Then, about 3.8 billion years ago, single-cell organisms were born. About 230 million years ago, dinosaurs roamed the Earth until they died and were replaced by early humans about 200,000 years ago. That’s a lot of history, and we humans have only been […]

A bird has to fly, right?It seems to me that “flying” should be a God-given birthright for birds. But. That is not always the case.  And it is more than just penguins.  In fact, there are 126 different species that don’t fly. Apparently, these particular birds have lost the ability to fly.
