Biogeography of paravian dinosaurs

- ALT1:... that the paravian dinosaurs, which includes birds, evolved in China? Source: same as above

This comprehensive article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and either hook could be used. I did wonder about the accuracy of the first hook, but I see that our article Bird states that "Based on fossil and biological evidence, most scientists accept that birds are a specialised subgroup of theropod dinosaurs". The article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:22, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
Promoting with first hook, slightly more nuanced ("first known") language is less likely to draw a challenge on the factual nature of the hook. Montanabw(talk) 18:17, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
