PremiumVIVAnews -what would happen if a giant asteroid is not hit our planet and destroy the dinosaurs? This question has been clear since a long time and now have started to appear the answer.
As known, there are many factors cause of musnahnya dinosaur from the surface of the Earth's surface. However, echo the death knell for the largest animal ever to live it was the arrival of asteroid-sized about 9.6 kilometers.
A giant Asteroid were to fall in the area that became the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, about 65 million years ago. As a result of the collision of the asteroid with the Earth, in the region there are gaping holes that is now known as Chicxulub crater measuring width of more than 180 kilometers.
Shortly after the asteroid struck the Earth hit by mega-tsunami, fires that spread to the entire planet as well as throw dust and particles that are very much into the sky, which resulted in the tertutupnya the Sun for several years and caused global cooling that causes musnahnya dinosaurs and more than 70 percent of other species of living beings.
"If the meteor that does not hit the Earth, and assuming that no other instances of mass destruction, life on this planet is likely still ruled by dinosaurs as well as 160 million years before the musnahnya animals," said Damian Nance, Professor of geoscience of Ohio University, as cited from Life's Little Mysteries, May 14, 2011.
Nance mentions, if dinosaurs are not extinct, primates like us probably will not live. Mammals alone could breed along with breeding dinoasaurus. However, they only occupy a particular ecological zones, and generally narrow grows more or less only of rats at this time.
"Mammals can appear and breed extensively after the plant-eating dinosaur that finally makes the destroyed dinosaur carnivore lost a source of food," said Nance.
The researchers speculated, the smart is also likely to dinosauroid evolved along with the humans. Speculation is based on the relatively large size of the brain of the trodontid species, is found later, which is a similar bird predators.
As known, the dinosaur who managed to survive to the present, with a bird, it's pretty smart. But not smart enough to remain the master of life on Earth.
