John Ostrom
John Harold Ostrom (February 18, 1928 – July 16, 2005) was an American paleontologist who revolutionized modern understanding of dinosaurs in the 1960s. As first proposed by Thomas Henry Huxley in the 1860s, Ostrom showed that dinosaurs were more like big non-flying birds than they were like lizards (or "saurians"), and even proved that birds themselves are a type of theropod saurischian dinosaur. Since dinosaurs themselves are considered reptiles, Ostrom's work made zoologists question whether birds should be considered an order of Reptilia instead of their own class, Aves. The first of Ostrom's broad-based reviews of the osteology and phylogeny of the primitive bird ''Archaeopteryx'' appeared in 1976. His reaction to the eventual discovery of feathered dinosaurs in China, after years of acrimonious debate, was bittersweet. Early life and career Ostrom was born in New York in 1928 and grew up in Schenectady. As a pre-medical undergraduate student at Union College, ...
