Question

Which statement best explains what caused some theropods to develop feathers

Answer 1

Answer:

A common creationist canard is the supposedly unanswerable "what use is half a wing?". Apparently there to confound biologists, what it generally does is demonstrate the ignorance of the asker with respect to evolutionary theory. However, the actual broader question that is inferred – what use is a feather to a non-flying bird? – is both relevant and interesting.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge{\mathcal{HEYA,MATE}}$

dinosaurs probably had feathers, and that all dinosaurs had some type of feather, just like all mammals have some type of hair.

Even so, Godefroit suggests that the largest dinosaurs likely had the fewestfeathers, as they wouldn't have needed them for insulation

$\color{pink}{PURPOSE}$

they were probably around for millions of years before a single lineage of dinosaurs began to use them for flight

feathers trap small pockets of air and provide the crucial "lift" that enables a bird to soar into the air
