→Birds as dinosaurs: "most familiar" is overstating it, I think. And how could they fly if they only had "primitive" feathers? And if they flew, they would be birds, surely?

Almost all{{fact}} evolutionary biologists believe that birds are the only extant group of dinosaurs, a branch of the [[theropod]]s, which included ''[[Velociraptor]]'' and ''[[Deinonychus]]''. This view is disputed by [[creationism|creationists]], and also by a few prominent evolutionary [[biology|biologists]]. Some have even gone so far as to suggest that most familiar dinosaur species, such as the ''[[Velociraptor]]'', ''[[Tyrannosaurus Rex]]'', and others possessed primitive feathers (though they may or may not have possessed [[flight]]).
