description New fossil specimens from the Early Cretaceous lakebeds of Liaoning, in northeastern China, are once again bridging the various aspects of vertebrate evolution. The latest findings are of a small carnivorous dinosaur called Microraptor gui, an animal that seems to have very long feathers attached to the hind limbs, arms and tail. These feathers are believed to have created a "four-winged" gliding planform and that this should be seen as an incipient stage in the origin of bird flight.
