About Alan Feduccia
- John Alan Feduccia (born 25 April 1943) is a paleornithologist, specializing in the origins and phylogeny of birds.
- He is Professor Emeritus at the University of North Carolina.
- Feduccia's principal authored works include two books, The Age of Birds and The Origin and Evolution of Birds, and numerous papers in various ornithological and biological journals.
- Feduccia opposes the scientific consensus that birds originated from and are deeply nested within Theropoda, and are therefore living theropod dinosaurs.
- He has argued for an alternative theory in which birds share a common stem-ancestor with theropod dinosaurs among more basal archosaurian lineages, with birds originating from small arboreal archosaurs in the Triassic.
