A new fossil dinosaur from North-Eastern China has put doubt into the current theory of how flight evolved. Dubbed Eosinopteryx brevipenna, the troodontid from the late Jurassic was completely covered in feathers, and yet was unable to fly as a result of small wingspan and bone structure not adapted to flight. Its feet were also suited to running on the ground as opposed to climbing or flying.
