Most scientists think that insects will take over from humans in the future, but what would have happened if dinosaurs hadn’t died off? These giant lizards may have survived and evolved high intelligence on other planets, which would explain the many contactee sightings of "reptilians" (NOTE: Subscribers can still listen to this interview).

After years spent hunting for prehistoric fossils, a paleontologist now plans to manipulate the DNA in chicken embryos to create a flying dinosaur.
The Breitbart website quotes researcher Hans Larsson as saying, “It’s a demonstration of evolution. If I can demonstrate clearly that the potential for dinosaur anatomical development exists in birds, then it again proves that birds are direct descendants of dinosaurs.”
There are a lot of websites out there, but the truth is, most of them are for the birds: They don’t bring you the great edge news and incredible radio shows that we do. But if you want us to keep being able to do this, more of you need to subscribe today!

Although scientists were skeptical at first, in recent years it has become accepted that the demise of dinosaurs was caused by a meteor impact in the Gulf of Mexico 65 million years ago. Now new research shows that the dinosaurs may have actually been killed off by a series of volcanic eruptions in India. The evidence of this are the gigantic Deccan Traps lava beds there.
Researcher Gerta Keller says, “It’s the first time we can directly link the main phase of the Deccan Traps to the mass extinction.” Why do they think this? Proof comes in the form of microscopic marine fossils that are known to have evolved immediately after the mysterious mass extinction event, which have been found in the lava beds.

Our science textbooks told tales of tiny mammals (ourancestors) huddling in fear from the gigantic dinosaursroaming the world, but it wasn’t that way at all. Andmillions of years later, the early humans known asNeanderthals had beautiful soprano singing voices.
Jeff Hecht writes in New Scientist that newly discoveredfossils from China show that not only did large mammals livealongside dinosaurs, they went dinosaur hunting. These hugecritters lived in China about 130 million years ago,millions of years before the first humans. One fossil evenhas the remains of a dinosaur in its stomach! Scientists nowthink these animals may have played a part in dinosaurextinction.
