This is a conversation under article G309-1 300 Million Year Old Wheel Embedded Inside Sandstone Found in a Deep Mine, which is a good supplement to the overall event.
Skipping it will not affect the reading experience.
Even if you can’t reveal the actual truth of your benefactors, could you write a narrative of what life would have been for the Mantids? The men having won the right to mate having a final meal before the act, because he would be eaten by the female afterwards, and so forth ?
I know precious little about them. Seriously. But what I do know is [1] and [2] not what you would think. Apparently at some point in time, way… way…. way back they evolved into society and were no longer hunter-gatherers. And when this happened their meat intake dropped and became very specialized. It is not what you would think.
It’s really quite startlingly different, actually. But nothing worthy of horror or a good reason to create a Hollywood movie over. Eh?
hi
If you are interested in Dinosaurs then I found this web site
https://www.dinosaurtheory.com/big_dinosaur.html
It explains some of the paradoxes of dinosaur size and ‘design’ by extrapolating from the science of planetary origins to make some informed guesses about the nature of the earth’s atmosphere at the time of the dinosaurs.
His explanation of planetary evolution was fascinating. Its about a dozen pages in all cos its quite a comprehensive explanation. I thought it was well worth my time and I recommend it for anyone interested in dinosaurs or space exploration.
Nice link. I saw a similar analysis a few years ago (sorry no reference), which concluded that the Earth might have been less massive in past eras. This adds credence to the expanding Earth hypothesis.
I myself was skeptical back then, but when added to geological data, and finally to D B Larson’s TOE (“Reciprocal System of Theory”), it begins to seem reasonable.
Larson himself never broached the topic, but Bruce Peret (a.k.a. “Daniel Phoenix III”) extrapolated his basic premises and outlined a reasonable mechanism for planetary expansion.
