I read a thing recently revealing that the Tyrannosaurus was closer to us in the timeline than it was to the Stegosaurus. Or maybe not those two, but it was some pair of well-known dinosaurs, anyway. The idea was we forget that "the dinosaurs" spanned hundreds of millions of years and instead just sort of lump them all together into one spot in history.
