  1. Re:Not so strange... on Tyrannosaurus Rex Relative Had Feathers · · Score: 1

    Actually, cladistics would hold that Aves and Dinosaurs are descended from a common ancestor, but true dinosaurs are extinct. As a monophyletic taxon, Dinosaurs do not include Aves, but they are related.

    In other words, Crocodilians, Dinosaurs, and Birds are all Archosaurs...but Birds are not dinosaurs.

    I suppose however, that since cladistics is based largely on argument...the literature will support both positions.
