Dinosaurs ruled the Earth for a hundred and eighty million years. That's 1.3% of the entire history of the universe.
Written history stretches back roughly five thousand years. Imagine the world one million years from now.
It would be nice to beat the dinosaurs. What would it take for humans to rule the Earth for two hundred million years?

- masklinn 3y agoNit, dinosaurs did not rule the earth for 180MYA, they did for about 135 MYA from the Tr-J extinction event (which wiped out most of the old archosaurs) around 200MYA to the K-Pg extinction event around 65MYA. Maybe a bit more if you count the early Paleogene for avian dinosaurs on account of Gastornis.
- slavik81 3y agoGood point. I'd been counting from when they first appeared. Your number is more accurate.
