Actually that is exactly what descending means here. Birds are a 
subgroup of dinosaurs. It works the same as you and me being an ape, a 
monkey, a mammal etc. Although I admit that there are many people that 
think that in the case of humans all logic has to be set aside and man 
is an independent creation (and women are even created twice, 
independently, but let's not go there).
