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.

    This is fairly recent bird lore. Like late 80s to 90s. It takes a while for schools to catch up so I missed it as well.
