Knormal posted:Yep, some of the most famous Victorian paleontologists were vehemently against the idea that birds could be dinosaurs for some reason and used their influence to successfully bury the idea until it was independently thought of in the 1970's. I think the prevailing line of thought at the time was birds and mammals were both warm-blooded and covered in something, so birds must be more closely related to mammals than reptiles, despite the bones of birds and dinosaurs having so many similarities. It's purely an arbitrary labelling decision based on where you place a marker, same as why pterodactyls aren't dinosaurs
