In their new studies, scientists announced that some mammals, including humans, bats, and dogs, coexisted for a short period of time before the fall of the asteroid and the extinction of the dinosaurs.
According to Tekna technology and technology news service, about 66 million years ago and before the impact of the asteroid with the earth, which is called the Paleogene Cretaceous extinction event, dinosaurs lived on earth. Now scientists have found evidence that some paired mammals also lived on Earth 66 million years ago. This shows the existence of these animals after the extinction of dinosaurs. But molecular analysis says that some of these fossils belonged to pre-extinction.
In the new study, researchers collected more fossil data from these mammals, which indicates the time of extinction 66 million years ago. Emily Carlyle, one of the main authors of this study, says: During this study, thousands of fossils of these mammals were collected. And the patterns related to their emergence and extinction were also investigated. Therefore, it is possible to estimate the time of their evolution.
Finally, the findings show that this group of mammals were present during mass extinction. This group of mammals also includes humans. Of course, new mammals arose after the impact of the asteroid.
