When I was a kid, I learned about Dinosaur being “giant lizard”, and it’s been may-be 10 years, that I hear “Birds are dinosaurs”.

I am curious on how the concept evolve, both among paleontologists, and among the general public.

    Approximately four and a half billion years ago, some rocks and shit became friends and hugged each other so tight that they created the earth.

    After a few hundreds of millions of years, life appeared on earth.

    Then, four-ish billion years later, Nyasasaurus was like, “roar y’all.”

    And now there are birds. They’re like, “caw y’all,” and we’re all like, “yo, that’s a bird.” Then the lizards are like, “me too bro.”

    The end.
