#57: Dinosaurs Make Us Look Like Newcomer
Humans tend to act like we’re the main event of planet Earth — and in modern times, we kind of are. But when you zoom out over millions of years, our run here is actually very short. We’ve been around for roughly a few million years in various forms, which sounds impressive… until you remember dinosaurs ruled the planet for about 165 million years.
