If you had citations for any of that, I would love to read it. Birds have been scientifically classified as dinosaurs for at least the past 20 or so years[1] and many (obviously not modern ones) lived in parallel to other dinosaur species in the late Cretaceous Period.

- dogma1138 10y agoAll birds are dinosaurs not all dinosaurs are birds, birds evolved from Theropods, there are other orders and suborders which were an evolutionary deadened and had nothing to do with birds. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theropoda https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theropoda
- yareally 10y agoFrom my first comment: > "If dinosaurs are a superset of many species, birds would be a subset of them."
- dogma1138 10y agoBirds are a subset of many species of dinosaurs but from one specific subgroup I wasn't contradicting you but some people think that all dinosaurs had feathers and are related to birds that is not the case. The feather thing was also known considerably earlier than people think as early as Darwin people published books about birds being related to some dinosaurs since we had very early feathered and winged fossils.
- yareally 10y agoAh okay. Wasn't sure what you were leading to in your previous comments. I'm in agreement with you after your clarifications though :)
