Let's say that dinosaurs had somehow survived into the present and humanity evolved anyways, much like in Ken Ham's warped perception of history. How do you think Linnean taxonomy would classify dinosaurs? We now know birds are just very specialized reptiles, but Linnean taxonomy considers them a different class (I personally get pissed every time birds are considered to be their own class, but I digress).
I think dinosaurs like Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Brachiosaurus, and Spinosaurus would be classified as "reptiles" while Velociraptor would be classified as a "bird" (Deinocheirus would probably be considered to be an extremely large bird), but how would dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus and Yutyrannus fare? Share your thoughts down below, and you can mention any dinosaur you want.
