Scenarios about 'paleontology'
The scientific study of prehistoric life through the examination of fossils of plants, animals, and other organisms. Paleontology provides crucial insights into Earth's biological history, evolutionary processes, extinct ecosystems, and major events like mass extinctions. This discipline helps alternate history creators explore scenarios involving different evolutionary paths, survival of extinct species, or how human history might have unfolded in worlds with different biological foundations.
What If The Cretaceous-Paleogene Extinction Never Occurred?
Exploring the alternate timeline where the asteroid impact 66 million years ago missed Earth, allowing dinosaurs and other Mesozoic species to continue evolving alongside mammals in a dramatically different world.
What If The Dinosaurs Never Went Extinct?
Exploring the alternate timeline where the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event never occurred, allowing dinosaurs to continue evolving alongside mammals for the past 66 million years.
What If The Permian-Triassic Extinction Never Happened?
Exploring the alternate timeline where Earth's most devastating mass extinction event never occurred, potentially altering the entire trajectory of evolution and preventing the rise of dinosaurs and mammals as we know them.
What If The Dinosaurs Never Went Extinct?
Exploring how Earth's evolutionary history and potentially human existence would have unfolded if the catastrophic asteroid impact 66 million years ago had never occurred.
