Dinosaurs have arguably occupied a key slot in the imagination of
millions of people since the dawn of modern archaeology. Museums,
television shows, documentaries, fantasy art, fiction and science
fiction genre have all been utilized to express this intense desire
to see, to hear, to be frightened by, and to be fascinated by these
"terrible lizards." However, dinosaurs are almost universally
depicted as nearly mindless, lumbering gargantuans. Consider this:
The human race has existed for perhaps 5 to 10 millions years in
various final evolutionary stages of sentient emergence from the
animal state. Compare this to the age of reptiles which is
considered to span most of the Mesozoic era, an epoch that lasted
at least 180 million years, more than ten times as long as the
reign of modern man. In the long, long history of dinosaurs, would
it not have been possible for just one species to have ascended
into a sentient state, following...no, preceding the evolutionary
path of the human race? A path that ended the reign of the dinosaur
in a cataclysmic celestial event that extinguished these amazing
animals. Or did it?
