Why is my wordpress site addng backbone.js?

I am working on my wordpress website. I was looking at the JS files associated with the site and noticed that underscore.js and backbone.js were being loaded but its not something I'm doing in my functions.php. Is it possible that one of my plugins is dependent on backbone and adds it as a dependency?

Hi Tyler,

The WordPress core uses Backbone and Underscore, so WordPress loads them automatically.
