  1. This Chicxulub impact wasn't the only asteroid. There is also the Nadir impact crater off the west coast of Africa. It was most likely a piece that was ahead of the Chicxulub asteroid that hit the Earth first.

  3. I could not help to think how strange us humans are when we looked at the great apes and then a city. And that was when the narrator said Us. I wonder how long we will survive? We have a habit of killing anything that is not to our liking. Be it animals or us humans, even plants and ruining rivers.

  4. I guess this place is as good as any to leave my thought… so here it is…
    It took millions of years for the dynos to evolve… and even more to dominate the earth…
    and billions of years for other forms of life to do that before the dynos…
    But it took hundreds of thousands of years for us to evolve from apes to what we are now…
    and we're already about to ''jump planets'' so that's our secret… we've mastered Time, we evolve faster than anything before, anything else around us! We're leaving Nature behind us!
    We're increasing the possibilities of survival by jumping to other planets, avoiding a random disaster… but we're doing it at risk of creating a premature disaster here… now…
    So there's that!… we need to be more careful and respectful , don't be Icarus!… be Daedalus !

  5. i have a question would the growing /slightly bigger brain to body size be the reason for it adapting to its environment ; or was its adapting to its environment and changes in diet be the reason for the bigger evolving brain ; yes i see the irony the chicken or the egg is in question here in a way
