Dinosaurs have lived on Earth for more than 100 million years, so why hasn’t they born with wisdom?
If the same time was given to humans, it would probably be that the tears would have already ascended to outside the galaxy .
Dinosaur fossil
Some people may say that dinosaurs waste resources and have the most resources on the earth but cannot develop the top technology. So is this really the case?
First of all, we got a mistake in a range, that is, dinosaurs are not an animal, they are a large group, and the target should not be humans, but the entire primate order.
No dinosaur species has survived for 170 million years, but the entire order of dinosaurs has existed for such a long time.
Not every primate is intelligent. Similarly, there is a big intellectual gap in dinosaurs.
All kinds of evil dinosaurs
The big clever among dinosaurs
Due to some film and television works, people's impression of dinosaurs are full of muscles and bloody mouths , as if dinosaurs only know how to fight and eat.
In fact, dinosaurs are also divided into many types of , and their ecological niches can be seen in today's animals.
For example, Tyrannosaurus Rex is similar to lion tiger of that era. It is the top predator, and naturally the number will not be the largest.
Tricetal dinosaur , Duck-billed salmon and other herbivorous animals. is the cattle and sheep at that time. It is a large number and is the food for Tyrannosaurus Rex, just like today's lions prey on buffaloes and Wildebeest .
The star creature of the Mesozoic Era - Tyrannosaurus Rex
In addition to these large dinosaurs, also has many small and medium-sized dinosaurs . They live in different terrains, including some arbitrary dinosaurs , whose ecological niches are similar to today's monkeys and orangutans.
These dinosaurs living in the woods, one of them evolved into wings and eventually flew to the sky . They are birds, which is a story later.
What we are going to talk about today is the smartest representative of dinosaurs, Tortoise dragon , it is a close relative of birds and has feathers on its body.
Many paleontologists believe that if it weren't for the big meteorite , thorny dragon would have likely become the first dinosaur to master wisdom .
arborized dinosaur
trauma dragon has a relatively small size, is only about 1 meter tall , plus its tail is only 2 meters, weighs about 100 pounds , if you let it fight an adult man, it may not win.
However, has the largest brain capacity among dinosaurs . According to fossil research, biologists simulated the IQ of the thorn dragon, which is very close to the smarter birds.
Among birds, parrots and crows are the smartest. Among them, parrots have an IQ of a child of a few years old. wounded dragons also have both hunting , so it belongs to the kind of character that is both smart and fierce.
The skeleton of the skeleton
Because it is small and eats meat, skeleton will choose to cooperate with like today's wolf pack. Cooperation is an important step in the birth of wisdom.
. What is even more regrettable is that trauma existed for a short time . They mainly lived in 75 million to 65 million years ago . The department took only 10 million years . It is obvious that this is shorter than the human department .
If the human family uses the human family to compare with the trauma , then the time it takes for the trauma to evolve its own brain is not as good as the human family species . The human family differentiated from the ape family about 20 million years ago.
Human genus only appeared about 2 million years ago. It can be seen that it takes a long time to evolve wisdom. Even if the wounded dragon wants to evolve wisdom, time will not wait for it.
In this way, it is not that dinosaurs have not evolved into wisdom, but that among dinosaurs has the potential to evolve into a group of intelligent bodies , and failed to survive the mass extinction of .
human animals differentiation
dinosaurs say that
is different from the short hand of Tyrannosaurus rex. trauma saurus has a very developed forelimbs , and even very flexible , which is mainly related to their living in the woods.
Judging from the fossils discovered, the skull dragon has a tendency toward to gradually advance toward land. If it continues to maintain this momentum, it is a dinosaur version of walking upright.
Many people mistakenly associate dinosaurs with lizards and crocodiles, believing that dinosaurs are cold-blooded animals. In fact, dinosaurs are constant temperature animals , and have a more powerful respiratory system - airbag .
Dinosaurs have feathers
Ballbags are the strongest respiratory system evolved from vertebrates. It can more efficiently utilize oxygen in the air .
Let’s take humans as an example. The oxygen concentration in air is 21% . The gas exhaled by humans, oxygen accounts for 16% . That is to say, humans only use about 5% of the oxygen in the air .
Because the interval between human one breath and one breath is short, the time between oxygen and lungs is not enough to absorb all oxygen.
Birds are different. Their airbags play a role in storing gas . Whether it is exhaled or inhaled gas, they can be used again here until the oxygen is absorbed by the bird's lungs.
How to use airbags for birds
So birds can fly and yell, and even fly to an altitude of 10,000 meters that are lacking in oxygen without taking a breath.
Airbags existed long ago before birds learned to fly. According to dinosaur fossil research, they should also have the structure of airbags.
is not only a dinosaur, but also a crocodile has airbags, so the structure of is the symbol of the main dragon-shaped .
has such a powerful respiratory system and super high IQ. trauma dragon basically has all the conditions for evolutionary wisdom .
Smart Thorns
Many paleontologists, such as Phil Cory of the University of Alberta, Canada, once believed that if it were not for the mass extinction of the late Cretaceous period, Thorns might have evolved into a human-like intelligent creature-dinosaur .
Dinosaurs are humanoid creatures with big eyes and big mouths. Because of the uncanny valley effect, humans will think that they look terrible.
, and the dinosaurs look very similar to the legendary aliens, so among the people there is a saying that dinosaurs have already ascended technology to leave the earth.
However, no matter what the statement is, biological evolution does not have , dinosaurs did not appear in the long river of history.

How to view the evolution of dinosaurs
Many people believe that the evolution of dinosaurs was failed on the grounds that dinosaurs had extinct . Strictly speaking, dinosaurs did not completely extinct . The paleobi world called the extinct dinosaurs non-bird dinosaurs . The orthodox birds as dinosaurs still continue.
and bird survival can just show the diversity of dinosaurs. Dinosaurs occupy many natural ecological niches with a total purpose size. Today, almost all the ecological niches occupied by mammals are inherited from dinosaurs.
The end-cretaceous mass extinction is different from the first four mass extinctions on Earth. is not the spontaneous extinction event of the earth. It is caused by an asteroid impact. is theoretically a disaster for flying .
Mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous period
This disaster was not completely escaped. As the dinosaur at the top of the food chain at that time, it must have encountered the most severe disaster.
If we look at the number of extinction events simply, mammals are weak in front of jellyfish and nautilus , but they are not absent from a mass extinction.
Human beings are used to looking at the evolutionary history of organisms with the idea of success and defeat. Extinction is failure, and survival is success. The key is that dinosaurs have not completely extinct . So why do you think their evolution is failure?
Live Fossil Nautilus
The entire mammal flourished only half of the time dinosaurs occupied the earth's time, and during this period, the earth was a relatively peaceful time, and no mass extinction occurred.
If you simply compete for diversity, there are only more than 4,000 mammals in , and more than 10,000 birds in . You should know that birds are just evolved from a branch of the dinosaur theropod, and mammals are a branch of .
The starting level of both
is different, and mammals are even higher than birds. As a result, is better than birds in terms of diversity .
Can this still be said that the evolution of dinosaurs failed?
Dinosaur Orthodox-Bird
Tragedy repeats the significance of the existence of dinosaur fossils. First, to allow humans to study and understand the ancient times better. Second, warns humans how small we are in front of the earth. Dinosaurs have lived for 170 million years and can be taken away by an extinction. So what is the probability that humans will withstand the same disaster again?
Or maybe a new disaster occurred on the earth, which is completely different from the disaster at the end of the Cretaceous period. Where can humans find cases or experiences?
Equal things in front of the earth
What's more, This disaster is caused by humans , environmental damage, global warming, , sea level rise , any one of them is enough for humans to drink.
Why has dinosaurs not evolved into wisdom? First, because the range of dinosaurs is too large, it is impossible for every dinosaur to be very smart.
2 is a smart dinosaur. It has existed for too short, and sent before she could get smarter.
Extinct dinosaur fossil
Human beings are the only intelligent creatures on the earth, but they are not the only ones in the universe. There are mountains outside the mountain and there are people outside the human beings.
