Today’s Episode: The Dinosaurs’ Turn. In geological time, human beings are about to appear and bring corruption with them.
It was in the recent geological period of more than 230 million years before we emerged, that dinosaurs took over the planet. Paleontologists such as Trevor Valle, Robert Bakker, John Shea, as well as archeologist Nicole Waguespack claim that if there had been no extinction, some would have achieved better reasoning than dolphins and monkeys.
History says that for 160 million years they reigned as the dominant species. At this time, the Earth already had 24h days, due to the gravity created by the Moon, and also had huge forests.
There were two dominant parts of the planet. The oceans and a single continent called PANGEA. It was at this time that the separation of the dry portion began to appear for the continents as we know them today. And then comes the Atlantic Ocean between Africa and the Americas.
Trevor Valle, a paleontologist at the Page Museum, and Robert Bakker, a paleontologist at the Museum of Natural Science in Houston, Texas, says the most interesting thing about this 160-million-year period is that the rest of the animals and mammals were completely outgrown in size and strength by dinosaurs, the dominant species in strength and adaptability.
However, everything was about to change. In the last 65 million years of this period, an asteroid hit Earth, and the dust cloud that formed blocked the sun, causing temperatures to plummet and extinguishing more than 80% of life. This was the second extinction.
Trevor Valle also says that the extinction of dinosaurs was a great gift to the human race because it allowed mammals to ascend the scale of survival and dominance. Shortly after this extinction, primates would appear, from which Darwin and Wallace say we are also descendants.
These primates with flexible hands, five fingers, and eyes in front of the face to give a sense of depth will be the trigger of Nature, for the emergence of “Homo sapiens”. Archaeologist Nicole Waguespack, from the University of Wyoming-US, says that the ability to hold things and manipulate objects was one of the biggest evolutionary leaps.
Have you ever stopped to think about the importance of our hands as tools? Is this why surgeons, dentists, painters, and other professionals insure their hands?
In the last 50 million years, before humans appeared on the planet and after the extinction of the dinosaurs, primates continue to evolve in the midst of the planet’s continuous warming, similar to what is happening today.
In this period the entire strip of land that comprises Egypt (North Africa) was an ocean in which the sedimentation of shells and within them creatures called nummulites replicated so much that their shells made of calcium and carbon accumulated for millions of years, forming limestone of the same kind as that used to build the pyramids.
Archaeologists attest that the pyramids are made of that limestone from the shells of the nummulites, which date back about 50 million years before we humans appeared on Planet Earth and became the dominant species.
Going down the timeline to 10 million years before us, the Earth begins to transform into what we know today. Mountain ranges appear, such as the Himalayas, which are so high and icy they help to cool the planet a little. During this period, the Isthmus of Panama also appeared, to link North and South America.
As early as 7 million years before the human race emerged, primates lived safely in treetops. It is during this period that another revolution will take place, with the appearance of grass. Historian Jonathan Markley (California State University – Fullerton) says that “grass fields appear almost simultaneously all over the world: African savannas, Eurasian steppes, North American prairies, Argentine prairies”.
Paleoanthropologist John Shea, from “Suny Stony Brook/Stony Brook University, New York,” says that in this period of the appearance of grass, monkeys no longer overcrowd the trees and descend, as they can already feed on pastures on the Earth’s surface. The environment seems to be prepared for the human race, and I’m not talking about black, white, indigenous, LGBT, etc., but the human race to which we all belong.
The environment prepares for the new dominant order of primates that comprises apes, apes, lemurs, and finally us humans. In this evolutionary step, but evolves to walk upright on two legs, which frees their hands to manipulate things and objects, abilities that will shape human history in surprising ways.
Oxford University scientist Franz-Xaver Neubert, a leader in research on the evolution of the brains of apes and humans, has published research in which holds that cognitive processes, language, cognitive flexibility, strategic planning, multitasking skills, and above all, taking decisions are the characteristics that will make us the dominant species.
Note that all the reasoning skills we develop should make us more ethical beings. Instead, when we emerge in geological time we will bring with us the corruption that will gradually decimate the planet’s minerals and vegetable resources and, in the fight of everyone against everyone, political corruption, which will divert the resources we sweat to store in the public treasury. It is as if we were a colony of termites eroding the only trunk that transports us from point A to point B, in the middle of the ocean.
