>only the avian 'dinosaurs' survived, but calling them dinosaurs would be like calling humans rodents. No, humans did not evolve from rodents. It's more like calling humans primates. >It's not like birds existed back then. Back when? There were birds before the other dinosaurs went extinct, so concurrently with T-Rex.

> "No, humans did not evolve from rodents. It's more like calling humans primates." Its my understanding humans evolved from a rodent like creature that existed during the time of the dinosaurs. primates did not exist then. also, humans did not evolve from primates. humans are primates.

  >Its my understanding humans evolved from a rodent like creature that existed during the time of the dinosaurs. primates did not exist then. Our ancestors might at some point have been rodent-like, in the sense that they looked somewhat like rodents (or rather, some rodents still look like them, as the rodents also evolved from the same ancestor). But they weren't rodents, and they didn't have the incisors that characterize rodents. >also, humans did not evolve from primates. humans are primates Yes, we evolved from primates, and thus still are primates, like how birds still are dinosaurs.

    birds are NOT dinosours. they are descended from them. as far as I know, there were no birds during their time.

      Hmm.. That’s not true. There were birds then. And a lot of dinosaurs that look like birds. https://twitter.com/serpenillus/status/1226553777983016960?s=21 https://twitter.com/serpenillus/status/1226553777983016960?s...

      Dinosaurs is a clade, which by definition includes a species and all its descendants. You can't outgrow your ancestry.
