Why didn’t the asteroid that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs on Earth also lead to the extinction of all other living species?
In: Planetary Science
When the asteroid hit it super heated the atmosphere for a short period of time. That caused everything above ground to die.
As it turns out earth is an excellent insulator. So anything that could burrow at least a few feet into the soil survived.
That included some ancient mole. That mole is the common ancestor of all mammals including humans (I’m not kidding).
