Re: Fw: Most popular/common dinosaur misconceptions



Quoting don ohmes <d_ohmes@yahoo.com>:


Maybe I am being too harsh. The 22% who were unsure may be folks like me; unsure in this post-Linnaean BAD/BAND world just what the hell a dinosaur is. And when I was 7 it seemed so clear and well-defined.

And remember that to a depressingly large section of the public, mammoths and saber-toothed cats are dinosaurs, too--and those assuredly did live alongside early humans.
