Before the onset of the current dogma, dinosaurs and birds were generally thought to have shared a common ancestry from certain Triassic basal archosaurs, thecodonts, as they were called, like the Triassic Euparkeria. Everyone today agrees that birds are derived from within the archosaurian assemblage, but whether birds descend from the Dinosauria depends largely on one's definition of the Dinosauromorpha. And, the cursorial origin of flight is biophysically untenable.
