I think, out of all living species, we humans are an aberration on the planet, simply because of our unique suicidal and ecocidal behaviour.
The planet, teeming with life, is an anomaly in the universe. Yet, also inevitable when time has no beginning or end, of course.
The arrogance of we humans and our acquisitive, or rapacious or grasping ways seem to be confined to ourselves.
All this indicates, I think, that our dismissive, negative view of dinosaurs is so typical of our hubris, our short sightedness and over confidence that our intelligence will come up with something else once the fossil fuel age is over.
Our folly will be our undoing and our time on the earth will be very much shorter than the dinosaurs.
Humans depend on hydrocarbons to give us fertilisers which are essential for our food.
Living infinitely on a finite planet and unnaturally on a natural planet.
