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
Well it did…. that mass extinction event eliminated 96% of ALL species, dinosaur, mammal, etc. But it didnt eliminate all of any group of species. It didnt even eliminate dinosaurs. All birds are dinosaurs. A similar fraction of mammal species survived, and managed to grow into the gap that was left by the now vanished species.
