For some time it has been hypothesized with pretty solid evidence that the cause of the apparent rapid worldwide extinction of the dinosaurs,
along with most, if not all, other living / breathing above the water-lines critters,
was a meteorite that struct the earth in the Yucatan vicinity.
On one of the national news steams today there was a report of new findings that offer even further support of the above view.
That got me thinking more about paleontology stuff....
and I realized I need someone who knows more about the latest thinking on 'evolution,' to verify for me that one of my assumptions related to evolution studies is accurate....
Going with the general accepted current belief that the Yucatan meteorite hit 66 million years ago ....
then, most, if not all, land living mammals had to 'evolve' within that time span... correct?
- Thanks.
