A loss pf a gene in  hummingbirds led to increased muscle energy, according to Darwinists. They know little of its purported evolution,   

But they say that Osipova et al,  found that a gluconeogenic muscle enzyme, FBP2, was lost as hovering flight evolved. They are assured that this loss of a gene can be adaptive.

Some researchers have found  soft tissue in a 47  million year old bird. This would call for questioning the evolutionary dogma of millions of years.
