Whether it's fact, fiction, or fallacy, it is quite the interesting task analyzing the evolution of our farm-friendly chicken to biological blueprints of the ferocious and fearsome Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Our friend, Charles Darwin, concluded that "natural selection" contributed to the way a species evolves over time. Darwin felt as if the theory of evolution was empirical and easily proven by examining changes in a particular group of animals over time.

Recent research from zoologists and paleontologists across the globe have begun to piece together the correlation between birds and dinosaurs, specifically chickens and dinosaurs. It is now being accepted that dinosaurs evolved into birds over time, simultaneously getting smaller and less primitive in instinct.

Embryonic similarities have been examined between unborn chickens and Tyrannosaurus Rex DNA, proving that chickens are in fact the modern equivalent to the T-Rex. Comparable skeletal systems, skull structures, and anatomical build link chickens to the Tyrannosaurus Rex on a more physical scale than any other prehistoric animal.

Modern birds evolved from a family of bipedal dinosaurs known as "theropods", known to have died out during an ice age. Theropods were specifically known to walk on two legs with an upright position, the same way chickens and the Tyrannosaurus Rex do.

With new biological research on the way and advancements in technological escavation, it would not be a surprise if we fully uncover the story of the dinosaurs in the next few years. By viewing the consistencies of chickens and their ancient relatives, we are now able to get a better understanding of life before man.
