Birds are usually descendants of the primitive avialans (whose members include Archaeopteryx) which first appeared about 160 thousand years ago (mya) in China. Based on DNA evidence, modern birds (Neornithes) advanced in the Middle to Late Cretaceous, and diversified considerably around the time of the Cretaceous? Paleogene extinction event 66 mya, which murdered off the pterosaurs and non-avian dinosaurs.
