Abstract in brief
Archaeopteryx is an important fossil from the Late Jurassic in Germany that helps scientists understand how birds evolved and started flying.
The analysis of three new Archaeopteryx specimens revealed that its wing bones had unique features similar to modern flying birds, indicating that it could flap its wings.
This suggests that wing-powered flight in birds likely began earlier than previously thought, even before the late Jurassic period.

Humans have been obsessed with wings because it enables flight one of many things that we couldnt do as a species While all wings basically have the same core function the way they works are different Each winged…
Archaeopteryx, a crucial Late Jurassic fossil from Germany, shows wing features similar to modern birds, suggesting it could flap its wings and initiate wing-powered flight earlier than previously believed.
