artemis’s Reviews > The Rise and Reign of the Mammals: A New History, from the Shadow of the Dinosaurs to Us > Status Update

"jefferson couldnt accept mammoths, giant lions/sloths were extinct, extinction to him was impossible" dude people were finding dinosaur bones when you were alive did you think a massive reptile was still around or

so far some of the white figures in here are actually so beyond dumb its actually impressive like the guy that couldnt believe a mammal could lay eggs so he killed thousands of them just cause

its really interesting how for dinosaurs, there is so much rapid evolution; as if they were trying to figure out what worked the best. its just unfortunate that once they got the best parts down, they went (almost) extinct. and for mammals, after they took reign after the extinction of most dinosaurs + reptiles, they too have done the same. and yet they too might go extinct but because of us

forgot that i downloaded this on my kobo forever ago so. here we go
