Necks Lie: the complete story
November 3, 2014
Just a quick post to link to all six (so far) installments of the “necks lie” series. I need this because I want to cite all the “necks lie” posts in a paper that I’ll shortly submit, and it seems better to cite a single page than four of them.
- Necks lie
- Necks lie, redux
- Sauropods still didn’t hold their necks in osteological neutral pose
- Hoatzins lie (and so do parrots)
- Herons:
- Necks lie: solitaire edition
- Shoebills
lietell the truth (and it’s disgusting)
I’ll update this post as and when we write more about lying necks.
