Development precedes learning, we are like the way we are because we were taught it, most likely via behaviourism, in the same way you train a dog to sit, without education we would be like Genie

ok

there is a theory that octupuss and family may have been seeded here after life had already begun.. as there dna is insane

Genie is a girl who was not educated and called feral for it

they are smart fuckers. those tentacles have their own brains

I love the sci fi concept of how things played out if cetrin mass extinctions never happen

nice meme

whether it be dinosaurs or permian

it would be cool if dinosaurs were still around

yup.. i used to have a salt water tank never got an octopus though.. wish i did

There is no greater feeling in the world knowing that I might fight octopuses

but it can be argued humans wouldn't exist

it's plausible, if we're assuming Earth is covered in ocean first -- so the ocean creatures would be the first ones to populate Earth

if dinosaurs never died off

if dinosaurs still existed i think we all be dead

or never came to be

Lock downs are so stupid anyone who says lockdowns are good are slaves to billionaire

DINOSAURS. imagine tho: "Hey, have you see this T-Rex I just purchased today from the fair?"

lock down are unconstitutional

mammals probably wouldn't have evolved to the point they're at right now if the dinos hadn't been annihilated

the dinosaurs extinction left the world open to be taken over by mammals

well life started in the ocean not on land so

or maybe we will train them like dogs

mhm i'll have the ribeye stegasaurus steak

Exactly

nice

I love physics, there are some prominent theories that life began on mars as it had a more hospitable atmosphere during the early development of the solar system, and due to a kind of ‘trampoline’ effect, rocks and shit splashed back and forth between earth and mars

I love using deep sea animals to base aliens on

bro i want a pet compsognathus

I want a Microraptor

little four winged birb dino

not necessarily. in an alternate universe, you can have (1) dinos never was wiped out and mammals never exist, or (2) dino never was wiped out but mammals still able to exist

idea: buy land in african safari,herd animals,make fence around animals,use animals as meat and other product,then profit

OCTOPUS ARE MY FAVOURITE. but also, *shudders* their tentacle freaked me out

mammals would never really need to evolve if the roles are already taken

the mammals would've stayed as small rodent-like creatures since the big ass dinos would've been more dominant on the planet, leaving no room for mammals to grow

Birds essentially are kinda dinosaurs in simple terms.

Vampire Squids

Birds are to dinosaurs what monotremes are to birds

I'd make a race of alien Vampire squids
