One article I was capable of finding was called Bizarre Dinosaurs written by John Updike. The link for this article is: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/2007-12/bizarre-dinosaurs/updike-text.html.
John Updikes 2007 article forces the mind to fabricate different questions about new species of dinosaurs found in places like China and Argentina, where fossil excavation was booming with wonderous results. The grotesque formation of limbs and bone structure brought about critical thinking for these paleontologists leading them down a road of theories. They even began to surmise what a dinosaur would think if there was an encounter with humans. Comparing how we believe their bodies are abnormal to what they would believe when seeing us. Coming into play with their thoughts was the setting of time like the Triassic period, the Cretacious period, and the Mesozoic period. How long they reigned and how much they evolved and adapted to the ever changing Earth was a way of figuring out how they arrivved at such unique designs. How would these creatures odd bodies help them in the game of survival? How did they obtain food? How did they use this limb and that limb? These are the type of inquiries the paleontologists had when discovering new fossils.

How well has mankind adapted to the changes they created in the Earth and what advantages, biologically, do we have over other people in different regions?
