The coexistence of non-avian dinosaurs and humans exists only as a recurring motif in speculative fiction, because in the real world non-avian dinosaurs have at no point coexisted with humans. [1]
However, viruses are still poorly understood and may have arisen before "life" itself, or may be a more recent phenomenon. Major extinctions in terrestrial vertebrates and large amphibians. Earliest examples of armoured dinosaurs. 195 Ma First pterosaurs with specialized feeding (Dorygnathus). First sauropod dinosaurs.
Through the first half of the 20th century, before birds were recognized as dinosaurs, most of the scientific community believed dinosaurs to have been sluggish and cold-blooded. Most research conducted since the 1970s, however, has indicated that dinosaurs were active animals with elevated metabolisms and numerous adaptations for social ...
This week, meet the first dinosaur ever discovered, prepare for 2024’s exciting space missions, see the “living skin” protecting the Great Wall of China, and more.
Dinosaurs were initially cold-blooded, but global warming 180 million years ago may have triggered the evolution of warm-blooded species, a new study found.
He claims that even though mammals (such as humans) can have relatively long lifespans, we still operate under dinosaur-era restraints. Mammals may struggle to attain long life thanks to dinosaurs.
Early humans were social and initially scavenged, before becoming active hunters. The need to communicate and hunt prey efficiently in a new, fluctuating environment (where the locations of resources need to be memorized and told) may have driven the expansion of the brain from 2 to 0.8 Ma. Evolution of dark skin at about 1.2 Ma. [39]
Footprints dating back 120 million years show where dinosaurs were able to cross between land that's now part of two different continents. Matching dinosaur footprints found more than 3,700 miles ...
