No, actually those are pretty advanced even for being an older species.
They are the only reptile with a 4 chambered heart (birds and other
reptiles only have a 3 chambered heart) and a fully developed palate.
Other reptiles don't have one of those either.

Ratites date WAY back. Take a look at a skeletons. Concentrate on the
