  1. What they are saying now is that the meteorite didn't actually kill almost everything above the ground 65 million years ago.

    They now think the changes wrought in the earth mantel by the impact caused lava and the concomitant carbon dioxide and other harmful gases released by volcanism.

    Add to this that the dinosaurs were already on the decline at the end of the Cretaceous, the evolving flowering plants, Dinosaurs did not eat these plants, were a major factor and we have another of the great extinction events in earth's history.

    So, it must have been a combination of factors that allowed for the demise of the Dinosaurs and the development of  mammals to become dominant and eventually evolve into, us.


  2. Samson did, every last one of them with the jaw bone of an *** (as in donkey)

  3. me, I did it ok?

  4. The global flood of Noah killed most of them but some of the young ones that were brought on the Ark survived and their descendants lived until fairly recent times. There are many thousands of cave paintings, drawings, petroglyphs, fabrics and artifacts from around the world which show man and dinosaurs co-existed.

  5. Chuck Norris did

  6. jesus. other favorable answers are, an asteroid, or volcanic eruption covered the sky and that killed them, or an ice age killed them off.

    I don't know if they have an exact answer yet...but my favorite answer is jesus, because of all of the nuts who believe god put the dinosaur bones there to test our faith.

  7. The Yucatan Asteroid is thought off as the main ingredient to the dinosaurs' demise.  But it could be a result of many other things.

    To the guys thinking that dinosaurs were around back  in 1200BC.  I can make some drawings of a t-rex, does that mean they're alive today?

    The folks that build angkor wat could have stumbled on some dinosaur bones and think that they're a very cool addition to the other creatures.  Or worse yet, it could've just come straight out of their imaginations, like the Chuppacabra.

    If you take that all drawings on these caves or temples to be an exact portrayal of life back then.  Then it also follows that there were giant men with jackal heads walking around in Egypt in the past, also there are lions with human head.  How about those eagles large enough to carry an elephant?

  8. big rock from sky fall down

    dino die

    world change, man

  9. Certain controversy exists about the extinction of the dinosaurios. According to one of the propose theories, the dinosaurios were extinguished slowly as a result of the environmental changes caused by the retirement of the little deep seas at the end of the era of the dinosaurios. Their defenders postulate that the dinosaurios were being reduced in variety and number during a period that lasted several million years. Bibliography These sources provide additional information on Dinosaurio. The recent discoveries that indicate the impact of a great asteroid or commits in the limit between the cretácico period and the tertiary era, make about 65 million years, have favored the hypothesis that such impact could have triggered climatic changes that brought about the extinction of the dinosaurios. One assumes that most of the territory that includes North America and of the South was absolutely devastated by the fire of the impact. The environmental effects that the time planet underwent for a long period were, in last instance, more lethal than the own fire. The dust did not let pass the light of the sun during several months. The sulfide burned coming from the place of the impact, the aqueous vapour and chlorine of the oceans, and the nitrogen of the air mixed and produced an intense acid rain that fell the planet mainly. The scientists postulate that the dark and acid rain stopped the growth of the plants and, as a result of her, as much the dinosaurios herbivores, that they depended on the plants to feed itself, like the carnivores, that were fed on the herbivores, were exterminated. On the other hand, it is probable that other animal like frogs, lizards, turtles and insectivorous mammals of small size survived, that they depended on the organisms that fed themselves on plants in decomposition. Between the tests that confirm this theory is the discovery of a crater of impact of about 200 km of diameter in the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. In November of 1998 a small meteorite fragment was discovered in the Pacific that has been related to the crater of Chicxulub (in the Yucatan Peninsula) and to the extinction of the dinosaurios. The geochemical and petrográfico analysis of this fragment reveals that it was not a comet, but an asteroid of more than 10 km of diameter the one that caused, makes 65 million years, the disappearance of the dinosaurios. This asteroid could come from the asteroid belt that turns between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

  10. What does this have to do with Anthropology? The word "anthrop" means human.

    After the Flood some dinosaurs just couldn't adapt well to the new environment.

    Man also killed off many of the dinosaurs. Back then they called them "dragons" (or whatever word meant "dragon" in their language). Dinosaurs were a menace, so if man wanted to settle an area, he would have to drive them out or kill them off.
