Some dinosaurs breathe similar to birds, and others more like crocodiles. That is what South African paleontologist Viktor Radermacher found out when he studied the turkey-sized fossil of a Heterodontosaurus. It was found in 2009 in the Northeastern Cape near the hamlet of Rossouw by Dr Billy de Klerk of the Albany Museum.

SciBraai reporter, Sibusiso Biyela, speaks to DJ Sbari Wosuku on Nongoma FM about the origins of humans and the scientific evidence scientists use to tell the story of our evolution.
