hi there it's Dr. Jory and welcome to
brain blowing babble
did you know that five minutes may have
made the difference between humans
existing and not existing let me explain
about 65 million years ago there was a
cataclysmic event when an asteroid or a
comet bashed into the earth at 6,000
miles per hour near Mexico basically
wiping out seventy percent of all
animals including almost all of the
dinosaurs that were the dominant animal
at that time there were some mammals
that were alive during the time that
that asteroid hit however they were not
very dominant now that all the dinosaurs
had basically been wiped out
this created a massive opportunity for
mammals to flourish there was likely a
mouse-like creature that was the early
ancestor to humans and over the next 63
million years there was a great
diversity of evolution and different
lineages of mammals and basically that
led to humans
now why do I say five minutes could have
made the difference because imagine if
that asteroid or that comment arrived
five minutes later or five minutes
earlier that impact may not have even
happened and dinosaurs may still be the
dominant animals on earth humans may not
even exist that is mind-blowing as usual
