Modern phylogenetic classifications emphasize character analyses, which show that birds EVOLVED from dinosaurs: that is, perceptions of bird distinctiveness have changed. Popular discussions (e.g., "Jurassic PARK") present this character analysis as showing that "dinosaurs are more similar to birds": that is, perceptions of dinosaur "primitiveness" have changed. This "neo-phenetic" analysis (below) produces a phylogenetic pattern from phenetic criterion... follow MEEEEEE... mark me as Brainliest.... |
