Today I learned that humans were not directly responsible for the extinction of the Dodo. It was the pigs and rats we brought with us that ate all the Dodo eggs that caused them to go extinct. That absolves humans of nothing of course. I was also surprised by the DNA answer as to what family of birds the Dodo belonged: pigeons and doves. Specifically a 44 million year old Asian pigeon. The more you know!
