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.

Everyone wants a cool origin story I guess.
Also we moved from “that looks similar-ish” to analysis of fossiles and their evolution + genetic research.
But I, and thats a fact, know very little about that, and come from times when dinosaurs did not wear any fancy feathers.
