 In parallel, the development of Darwinian evolution, and the discoveries of "Archaeopteryx" and "Compsognathus", led Thomas Henry Huxley to propose that dinosaurs were closely related to birds.Despite these considerations, the image of dinosaurs as large reptiles had already taken root, and most aspects of their paleobiology were interpreted as being typically reptilian for the first half of the twentieth century.Beginning in the 1960s and with the advent of the Dinosaur Renaissance, views of dinosaurs and their physiology have changed dramatically, including the discovery of feathered dinosaurs in Early Cretaceous age deposits in China, indicating that birds evolved from highly agile maniraptoran dinosaurs.
