Research topics



As you all know by now, we had to do a research paper on various topics. I did all my questions with ease, except for maybe one or two. The question that really made me think was the one about the dinosaurs. It really made me think about how everything started. It also made think about how these creatures, that we have come to know as dinosaurs, evolved and lived.

From doing this question I learned that dinosaurs had lived here for over a 160 milion years, while modern humans have only lived on earth for about 200,000 years. These two things that I learned go hand in hand. On the first hand, humans have lived here for only 200,000 years and look how much we have evolved. On the other hand, dinosaurs and earlier forms of hum
ans have lived here for over 160 million and they haven't done nothing. I wonder, were our brains just that much bigger. Or maybe they had some disadvantages. But whatever it was, it must have been big.

Another thing about this question that really made me think was how these dinosaurs became extinct. There are many theories revolving around dinosaurs.All of them are believable. The one that really stood out to me was the one abut the asteroid. That is the one I am going to believe for now, until I can find out more.
