Perspective
I wonder if the comparison group includes non‑avian dinosaurs with different limb structures. My cautious take is that this finding might suggest multiple evolutionary paths, but more data is needed to confirm.
Source summary
A fossil from a previously undiscovered species with feathery limbs, unearthed in China, adds to evidence that dinosaurs and birds evolved flight more than once.
