Scenarios about 'therapsids'
Therapsids were a diverse group of synapsid amniotes that flourished during the Permian and Triassic periods, representing an evolutionary bridge between early reptile-like animals and mammals. These "mammal-like reptiles" exhibited increasingly mammalian characteristics over time, including specialized teeth, upright limb posture, and possibly hair and warm-bloodedness. In alternate history scenarios, therapsids represent a fascinating point of evolutionary divergence where different survival patterns might have dramatically altered the development of Earth's dominant vertebrate groups.
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.
