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.

    I remember in my childhood in the 90s reading it as a possibility. So it was already on people’s radar. And as far as I know in the book Jurassic Park they do have feathers. Haven’t watched the newer movies, but I heard that in Jurassic World it was explained by the frog DNA that they didn’t have feathers.
