science geekery for today.
for those of you who don't know, i love evolutionary science. i also like to trip out on the idea of dinosaurs being around for 135 million years vs. humans (and human ancestors), who have only been around less than a million. puts things into perspective, eh? of particular interest in this article is lava covering roughly the size of 1/3 of the moon on earth at one point. it blows my mind.
i also love the show "life after people" because really, life will go on after people. humans are egocentric bigheads and believe an earth existing without humans is impossible. HA! that's hilarious and absurd. sure, the earth will need to go through some changes and it might take a few thousand, million years to erase the human mess but what will evolve after and in those conditions? i want to know! would creatures be smaller? or will big things roam around again? or will it be a bunch of insects having a big bug party. or will it be things totally new and different. there could be new creatures who can digest plastic because there will be loads of it. how would that be for an evolutionary advantage. maybe it will be oceancentric and everything will be back in the water again. possiblities are endless.
