The dinosaurs never did go extinct. Birds are literally dinosaurs.

"Trilobites never went extinct, we still have horseshoe crabs"

"Neanderthals never went extinct, we still have humans"

If neanderthals went extinct, then explain gamers :smuglord:

I think that it is very specist to compare a normal, innocent lifeform to gamers.

Horseshoe crabs are not trilobites. Humans are not Neanderthals. Birds are literally avian dinosaurs.

Most of us are a little bit Neanderthal.

neanderthals were humans. And they didn't go extinct they interbred with homo sapiens

There are wild turkeys in a nearby park. Whenever we see them, I tell whoever’s with me, “now imagine a dinosaur walking.”

Most Americans have no idea what this bird looks like but this is my favorite example...

The resemblance is even stronger if you imagine it without a tail.
