Alan Feduccia
John Alan Feduccia (born April 25, 1943) is a paleornithologist specializing in the origins and phylogeny of birds.  He is S. K. Heninger Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of North Carolina.

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.
