What If The Dinosaurs Hadn't Died Off? 

Jurassic Park 3 in 2001 was probably the first time a large number of people were exposed to 3D printing.

Vast majority of dino teeth fossil are considered undiagnostic for below subfamily status and therefore labeled as nomina dubia. The number of valid dinos species known only from dental remains can be counted in one had.

Underrated series

If that's the author of Stainless Steel Rat and Deathworld fame, then I have always called him Garry Garrison and never knew it spelled like that... woops😅

Oh cool. I was thinking of the K'Chain Che'Malle from Malazan Book of the Fallen. It's an epic fantasy series about the Malazan Empire and it's wars and their effect on the people caught up in them. It's incredible. The best and largest epic fantasy I've ever read (and I've read a lot). But the world has 4 founding races: Jaghut, Imass, Assail, and the K'Chain. K'Chain are hyper intelligent dinosaurs that built massive cities and have gravity manipulation magic. They don't feature THAT much in the series cause they were driven nearly to extinction like 300 000yrs ago when they had a civil war between the K'Chain Che'Malle and K'Chain Nahruk, then the survivors got clapped when the Tiste invaded this world due to their own civil war between Mother Dark and Father Light back in their own world. If you like epic fantasy and enjoy a challenging read that doesn't spoon feed you every little detail, I highly recommend Malazan. It's like this beautiful puzzle to figure out, and it has the best characters and the most devastating deaths I've read in fiction. If you think the Red Wedding was bad, just you wait lol.

Achieving sentience? Do you honestly think dinosaurs lacked sentience? It isn't necessary to have human type intelligence in order to be considered "sentient". Sentience simply means possessing some degree of awareness. Dinosaurs were vertebrates with brains similar to birds and alligators; it would be absurd to imagine they were not sentient.

@@b.g.5869 Thank you PETA, and re-read the ENTIRE sentence. And try context rather than cherry picking next time. Cheers, and have a better day, and throw another steak on the barbie 😄😆😂

@@b.g.5869 you know what they meant...

Isaac's joke should have been, "What do you call a dinosaur demolition derby"? "Tyrannosaurus Wrecks".

What do you call Dinosaur food in Texas? Texanosaurus Mex

Tex-Rex

Someone needs to ask Chat GPT what it would be like if Isaac Arthur went into standup comedy.

What do you call a female dino from Lesbos, Greece... who hunts other female dinos, and eats them? A Lesboraptor.

If you make a crow bigger you don't get a ratite; you get a bigger corvid, like a raven, which is smarter. You're correct that overall size doesn't correlate with intelligence but your reasoning takes a wrong turn in that comparing two very different groups of birds doesn't mean anything.

First of dinosaurs didn't extinct. They literally are birds. Dinosaurs in fact look closer to them then the lizards.

@@TheRezro “Dinosaurs” weren’t birds, birds are descendants of certain dinosaurs.

@@karatekan2182 It is literally the same argument like that humans aren't monkeys.

@@TheRezro …We aren’t monkeys, we are apes

@@TheRezro Humans are NOT monkeys. That is a full stop truth. The last common ancestor for modern humans and monkey's died off some 25 million years ago. The last common ancestor for gorilla's - is something like 15 million years ago, and the last common ancestor for chimps is something like 8 million years ago. Humans, ARE categorized as Great Apes, we are NOT monkeys. We good with that? Good. This being said: While Avian species find ancestry back to that of dinosaurs, they themselves are typically NOT dinosaurs. They are not a fossilized reptile - by nature of still being alive, and largely... not fossilized. They are not outdated, nor obsolete (by fact they are still in existence). More to the point - Dinosaurs typically refer to creatures that existed from ~252 million years ago, to about ~66 million years ago. If you want old, still in existence species the list is something like: Horsehow crap, jellyfish and... maybe sharks? In terms of a species - sharks first evolved something like 380-420 million years ago.

clearly you do not know the Sleestak

Dinosaurs literally didn't extinct. They fly outside my window.

This comment is accidentally true but the logic is wrong lol. At face value it's true even though the world is 6000 years old

idk if its true but i always heard kfc made it big in ww2 , something about the japs liking the secret herbs and spices , it help conceal the the fact their chicken was spoiled. it tasted better than horse meat.

@@10aDowningStreet Of Course IT Would.... It'd Just Be Kentucky Fried Crocodile! Or Kentucky Fried Catfish! (Remember The Bird Flu epidemic?!) 💖

I know it's a joke, but this isn't how evolution works. There's a difference between needing intelligence to exist and intelligence giving an advantage to survival. Humans ended up getting the former and got "lucky" when our resources ran out early on (from hunting mega fauna and over eating it) and we had to get smarter or go extinct. We lucked out hard in fact when that one perfect mutation got us the brains we needed.

more proof that humans are the prime lifeform

Grab a drink and a mamal.

that very thing just entered my mind as well.

then, of course, there were the....Silurians in Doctor Who

I loved that Star Trek episode :)

…as Issac Said in the episode you didn’t watch?

Doctor Who, Start Trek and tons of other sites and movies have explored it. Not to mention graphic novels, novels, short stories and games. I wonder why shows never use other clades apart from theropoda dinosaurs. What if almost all tetrapods have died off long ago and only one of our non-ancesteal synapsids clade, or extinct early Triassic archosaur out even just amphibians have survived and hundreds of millions years later earth world be totally unrecognizable. And we would meet an intelligent species from that alternate Earth? Like a support different and extremely alien (from our POV) Neanderthal Parallax by Sawyer type of situation? Without a real chance to understand the others psychology or language. That would be awesome.

Nah I don't remember I never read the books

A couple of lucky survivors did.

mmmmm chicken

Best we can do for a modern t.Rex.

I just realized dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets are kind of an evolution joke

And extinct non-avian dinasurs also tasted kinda like chicken and fowl (and somewhat between them and alligators) according to some studies on the taste of various extinct non avian clades.

I guess it depends on the dinosaur, trex or bront or something sure but something smaller like a chicken size velociraptor or something bigger like a 2ton Utah raptor is still smaller than an elephant but would absolutely destroy a person lol

Crocodiles still alive & well

​@@dazza8389 crocodiles aren't dinosaurs tho, they're reptiles and are much older than dinosaurs

​@@dazza8389 A common misconception; Crocodiles aren't classed as Dinosaurs. They share a common ancestor, yet aren't Dinosaurs.

​@batatanna This is technically not true and technically true. Both crocodiles and birds branch off of "archosauria". Crocodiles derive from "psuedosuchia" which is one of the branches of "archosauria". Both dinosaur and crocodile family lines start in the same place in other words, along with more complexity that I don't want to burden everyone with.

@@iivin4233 having a common ancestor doesn't mean they're in the same category tho, it's true to say humans are boned fish than crocodiles are dinosaurs.

You bet!

Tree and cliff climbers, yes. But what forms would or Could other sentients* evolve in to? More raptor-like semi-horizontal body position?

​@@michealnelsonauthor I bet thousands of others. But limitations on budget and creativity/fantasy couped with stupid anthropocentrism days otherwise. Plus b all comic book and other artists can draw anatomically correct humans, but fewer artist can draw all kinds of animals convincingly.

You see, this is one of those moments where I wish I didn't have nightmares. I should've seen it coming, but now? I'll be getting a face full of muscle in my sleep...

"...carefully selecting people into their group based on the expertise each individual could bring." does not seem to be a strategy currently employed by any governments or large corporations.

​@@noseyparker8130Then humanity will AT BEST find itself on the tech level of the 1800s, and in some rarely populated places regress to primitive tribes the likes of the one on Sentinel Island, while having IT server vaults buried underneath them forever that nobody will know what were or what to do with anyway.

Had lavos not destroyed their species then they'd more than likely have killed it shortly after making landfall. Reptites were extremely formidable. All the more terrifying is the notion that any world could be host to a world ending parasite and they'd never even know, to our knowledge that lavos was the only one ever to be killed but even then it was not destroyed, thus dream devourer.

It was a let down as a kid when I learned Humans and Dinosaurs didn’t exist together.

Nvm its Barylambda

Agreed. Doctor Strange doesn't use a wand, so Harry can't beat him with expeliarmus! Now Dumbledore or Voldemort might have a chance, but I'd not bet in their favor.

Agreed. But what if Constantine and Gandalf, Sabrina the teenage witch and Ged of Earthsee have joined in making it a six way battle? 😁

@@4124V4TA-SNPCA-x maybe if some teamed up, otherwise there would be some steamrolled early on hoho

Dr Strange's cloak could defeat Harry Potter lol.

What the rich do not know is that they will be alive while we eat them. Locally I have noticed animals that just didn't live in my area before. Birds, Insects and plants coming farther north to escape the hotter weather in the south.

Evidence suggests that it took 33-50k years post impact for dinosaurs to die. So my best guess is he was saying that its not set in stone that the asteroid killed off the dinosaurs instantly or that the extinction was not already underway with the asteroid merely acting as a catalyst rather than a proximate cause.

@@martinfitzsimons5884 I'm guessing they're remarking on my 'stone' pun there, the episode does explicitly say the asteroid is confirmed and just debated if it was the primary cause of extinciton

Robert Schock, a geologist (best known for disputing the claims of egyptologists in reference to the age of The Sphinx), said something about there being a lot of evidence suggesting that the extinction of the dinosaurs may be more likely related to a “period of high solar activity”. “Evidence” includes things like “glassification” of rock at a certain depth (seen in core samples), and some other geological evidence. I haven’t fact checked this, or done any research on it myself. I just happened to hear him in an interview on the radio last night, and he mentioned that.
