It’s all about the eggses, yes it is, Precious.
Eggses, nice giant dino eggses.
Early humans may have evolved as prey animals rather than as predators, suggest the remains of our prehistoric primate ancestors that were devoured by hungry birds and carnivorous mammals.
The discovery of multiple de-fleshed, chomped and gnawed bones from the extinct primates, which lived 16 to 20 million years ago on Rusinga Island, Kenya, was announced yesterday at the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology’s 70th Anniversary Meeting in Pittsburgh.
At least one of the devoured primates, an early ape called Proconsul, is thought to have been an ancestor to both modern humans and chimpanzees. It, and other primates on the island, were also apparently good eats for numerous predators.
“I have observed multiple tooth pits and probable beak marks on these fossil primates, which are direct evidence for creodonts and raptors consuming these primates,” researcher Kirsten Jenkins told Discovery:

@2 It’s the circle of life, yo! Hunt or be hunted!
I wonder if Ken Ham has weighed in on this. I really look forward to his opinions.
He hits that completely entertaining sweet spot of utter batshit insanity combined with haughty stupidity.
I love Dinosaurs. Thanks Mary!
Since it’s National Fossil Day, it is my sad duty to point out the the article on “Ancient Flying Dinosaurs” is incorrect in referring to Pterosaurs as “dinosaurs.”
@6: Beat me to the punch. Also, the creepy-hand sauropod looks more like a prosauropod to me, but I can’t be sure.
North American Late Jurassic sauropod diversity is a complicated subject but that “Amphicoelias” paper is more of a brochure for these new specimens that private fossil hunters uncovered. It is not peer-reviewed and is suggests that all 21 genera of Morrison Formation sauropods *except* their own “Amphicoelias” is one taxon. Which is presumptive to say the least.
