Of course there is no proof that dinosaurs evolved into something intelligent, at least none that we know of.
makes sense. as we are supposed to have developed our brains because of the design of our hands. so considering most reptiles (as against mammals) have actual functioning hands, following mainstream science logic, reptiles should have increased brain size because of their 'hands..'.....and they had 50 times longer to do it....
