    Likely they are referring to birds being in a monophyletic clade alongside dinos, but by that logic, humans are monkeys.

    I mean we pretty much are. Aside from going hairless and standing upright how much different are we really?

    Computers are further removed from rocks than a dinosaur is from a mamal.

      Hehe computers are not animals or vegetables so…

      It’s metal + plastic.

      Just like dinos and birbs have feathers.

      Unless we say that the origin of things is not necessarily the sum total explanation of what they are.

        Are you having some kind of aneurysm? We aren’t talking about raw materials, we are talking about evolution and how similar things are. Humans are functionally still animals. Computers are not functionally just rocks.
