[ad_1] There are various studies which show that an asteroid strike on the Earth caused the mass extinction of dinosaurs. While that was a fact, there was a lot of speculation about whether human ancestors were present during the age of dinosaurs or whetherthey came well after the catastrophic event. A recent study has made a shocking suggestion.According to the study by researchers from University of Bristol in the UK and the University of Fribourg in Switzerland, human ancestors such as dogs, bats, and humans co-existed during the Cretaceous era alongside the dinosaurs. The fossil studies of mammals show that they existed 66 million years ago. The molecular data shows that the mammals are older than the Cretaceous Paleogene (K-PG), which also proves that dinosaurs and placental mammal...

[ad_1] An asteroid wiped out the asteroids and if that had not happened, our world might look very different. Sixty-six million years ago, an asteroid hit the Earth with the force of 10 billion atomic bombs and changed the course of evolution. The skies darkened and plants stopped photosynthesising. The plants died, then the animals that fed on them. The food chain collapsed. Over 90% of all species vanished. When the dust settled, all dinosaurs except a handful of birds had gone extinct.But this catastrophic event made human evolution possible. The surviving mammals flourished, including little proto-primates that would evolve into us. Imagine the asteroid had missed, and dinosaurs survived. Picture highly evolved raptors planting their flag on the moon. Dinosaur scientists, discover...

Shocking finding! Ancestors of humans survived asteroid strike that killed dinosaurs

What if the dinosaurs hadn’t been wiped out by an asteroid?
