  Stenonychos & Dinosaurs Experienced Climate Changes Before KT
One branch or mutation of the supposedly extinct sauroid race, Stenonychosaurus, was according to paleontologists rema rkably hominoid in appearance.
Stenonychosaurus dinosaurs, which probably fed on primitive mam mals, embody a widespread tendency for the brain to increase in size throug h the history of life.
The cranial c apacity of Stenonychosaurus was nearly twice the size of that of human beings, indicating a large brain and possibly advanced though not necessarily benevolent intellect.

Stenonychosaurus (type genus S. inequalis) was named by C.M. Sternberg in 1932, based on a foot, wreckage of a hand, and some caudal vertebrae from the Late Cretaceous of Alberta.
A more whole skeleton of Stenonychosaurus was described by D.A. Russell in 1969, which eventually shaped the scientific foundation for a famous life-sized sculpture of Stenonychosaurus accompany by its fictional, human-like descendant, the "dinosauroid".
Stenonychosaurus became a well-known theropod in the 1980s, when the feet and braincase were described in more elements.

 Dinosaurs
Stenonychosaurus proved to be an interesting choice for the experiment because it was one of the largest-brained and therefore presumably one of the most intelligent of all dinosaurs.
One interpretation of the habits of Stenonychosaurus is that they were lightly built active hunters of small prey_perhaps small lizards and mammals.
Let's say, for the sake of argument, that Stenonychosaurus did not become extinct at the end of the Cretaceous period and actually had a chance to evolve into something close to the Russell-S_guin model.

A more complete skeleton of Stenonychosaurus was described by Dale Russell in 1969, which eventually formed the scientific foundation for a famous life-sized sculpture of Stenonychosaurus accompanied by its fictional, human-like descendant, the "dinosauroid".

There are a lot of cool places in the west, and new museums are opening all the time - I just don't have the time (or funds) to visit them all.
Stenonychosaurus and Troodon have the largest sized brains of any known dinosaur, so the idea wasn't all that far fetched.
I think it's a plausable idea, and personally I think we assume a lot in thinking we are the only sapient life to have evolved on this planet.

For instance one branch or mutation of the supposedly extinct sauroid race, Stenonychosaurus, was according to paleontologists remarkably hominoid in appearance, being 3 1/2 to 4 1/4 ft. in height with possibly greyish-green skin and three-digit clawed fingers with a partially-opposable 'thumb'.
The opposable thumb and intellectual capacity is the only thing preventing members of the animal kingdom from challenging the human race as the masters of planet earth.
According to researchers such as Brad Steiger, Val Valerian, TAL LeVesque and others this may actually be the same type of entity or entities most commonly described in 'UFO' encounters, as well as the same type of creatures depicted in early 1992 in the nationally viewed CBS presentation 'INTRUDERS'.

 Life's Ups and Downs: Charting Extinctions
The human race evolved within the order of mammals, for example, but if the dinosaurs had not been wiped out, humanoid creatures might have evolved from dinosaurs instead.
Dale Russell, a paleontologist at Ottawa's National Museum of Natural Sciences, has speculated that one dinosaur in particular, Stenonychosaurus, which had a large brain, walked on two legs, had thumbs and possessed binocular vision, might have become an evolutionary ancester of human-like creatures, but for the extinction of dinosaurs.
Explanations for these mass dyings are almost as numerous (and conflicting) as the scientists who speculate on them.

He has "evolved" a small Cretaceous dinosaur, Stenonychosaurus, to the present day.
His rendition of this putative creature looks more like a human than like its Stenonychosaurus predecessor, and the suggestion is that smart dinosaur descendants might be running the planet now if astronomical catastrophe had not occurred 65 million years ago.
Ernst Mayr's counter-argument is that if convergent evolution were applicable to intelligence, then sentient beings would have appeared in more than one species, in the same way that eyes, hinged legs, and torpedo-shaped torsos have.

This find was important in that it not only introduced the species of Velociraptor, but it also gives us some information about the predator/prey relationship.
Although Deinonychus and Velociraptor were similar in that both had the famous enlarged claw on the second toe, this characteristic was also shared by other members of the Family Dromaeosauridae (to which Deinonychus and Velociraptor both belonged), such as Dromaeosaurus, Saurornitholestes, Saurornithoides and Stenonychosaurus (Oviraptor did not have the enlarged claw).
They also have pronounced differences in the shape of their skulls.

The usual candidates for evolving into bipedal lizard men are Stenonychosaurus (A la Paleontologist Dale Russel), Troodon (Saw this one mentioned as an ancestor for either the Lizard Men and/or Grey Aliens), or the ever-ubiquitous Raptors of various breeds.
Just as an interesting thought, it turns out that “Stenonychosaurus” is NOT valid.
I agree that feathered serpents are common in Central American lore, and these may have gone south from North America during an Ice Age.

It's common in current Science Fiction to follow the suggestion of Dr. Dale Russell of the Canadian Museum of Nature and suggest that intelligent dinosaurs evolved from small, big-eyed, slender, bipedal dinosaurs, such as Troodon (formerly known at Stenonychosaurus).
However, this is NOT the model I used for the Quintaglios.
