@AntoniusTyas Месяц назад

Ah, something Professor Ramirez hasn't heard before. Multituberculates were an extinct group of allotherian mammals that filled the niche now filled by rodents starting from Mid-Jurassic all the way to Late Eocene. Some of the more famous example like _Kamptobaatar_ and _Djadochtatherium_ were found in late Cretaceous Mongolia, while _Cimolodon_ (famously snatched by _Stenonychosaurus_ on the 'Ice World' episode of Prehistoric Planet) was from late Cretaceous USA. I'll be honest were it not for NatGeo's Gobi Expedition in early-to-mid 1990s to study the paleoecology of Djadokhta Formation and Nemegt Formation I wouldn't have known of Multituberculata mammals.

Also remember that the Sun is slowly getting warmer as it fuses its hydrogen and while that process is very slow it means it will be about 3% brighter in 300 million years. While that may not seem much it will have a huge impact on the climate of the earth, eventually leading to all oceans evaporating in about a billion years from now.

Then you realize those native peoples are also colonizers in their own right (i.e. the Lakota aren't native to the Dakotas area, they invaded, colonized, and displaced the local populations around the late 18th century) The Bantu populations of subsaharian Africa invaded, conquered and colonized the entire area from the native Khoi-San peoples in the 15th century, who have largely gone extinct as a result (with some minor exceptions in South Africa and Namibia), and the Latins and Germans completely wiped out the Celts from Europe in the 4th century Indoeuropeans colonized Eurasia and displaced every almost local population into extinction, with some minor exceptions like the Basque Not to mention the hundreds of human-adjacent species we completely wiped off the map by invading and conquering their lands In the end, that's just humans being humans - there'll always be someone taking someone else's land, there's no one "more native" to a specific piece of land than the rest when we're all colonizers, there's no "culprit" or "victim" here, just humans being humans

Arthropods already were for a while and could easily become again in a (geologic) heartbeat. However having an internal skeleton is massively advantageous if you want to grow really big so something is eventually gonna end up convergently evolving a vertebrate-like skeletal structure.
