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.

      Ugh, life took ages to get started. Lazy bacteria!

      It’s still a hell of a long time if you consider that the entirety of recorded (ish) history is only a few thousand years long.
