I am new to this so i'm sorry if this may sound stupid. I would appreciate if someone can answer this question.
How do scientists classify what a bird is and is not, particularly with regard to their possible evolution from dinosaurs? Some say that birds appear earlier in the fossil record than the dinosaurs.

Hi Faith!
These are good questions, but they cover three or four different topic areas. Could you narrow it down to just one topic?

When you say that they appear earlier in the fossil record, who are you saying they appear earlier than? The dinosaurs?
