About the Topic
Two hundred years ago, humans first identified dinosaurs through fossils. Scientists have since continued to study these animals, so different from modern reptiles.
Dinosaurs dominated the earth for 160 million years, before disappearing abruptly 65 million years ago.
Was it an asteroid impact?
Volcanic eruptions?
Or another cause?
We will consider how dinosaurs are named and identified, visit the three geological periods of the Mesozoic, and examine their extinction.
Studying their rise and decline is also a way to think about evolution. Now that humans occupy a dominant position, how do we face the future and the possibility of an ending?
The story of dinosaurs may reflect something of our own fate, returning us to questions that have long occupied philosophers, scientists, and poets.
