The caprice of one large meteor hitting the
earth 65 million years ago (Richard A.
Kerr, Research News, 14 Aug., p. 878) is
responsible for the existence of humanity.
Had the dinosaurs survived, with all their
capacity for carnivory, the large mammals,
including primates, would never have
evolved. On the other hand, humans could
only have evolved through the elimination
of both the carnivorous and the herbivorous
dinosaurs. These reptilian megafauna would
have both eaten the humans and eaten the
subjects of their agropastoralism. |
