too curious fact of nature that severe
asteroid impacts on earth can devastate
the ecosystem leaving most life extinct
countless tons of Earth's crust get cast
high into the atmosphere while suit from
widespread fires cloaks the planet
knocking out the base of the food chain
and sending a wave of extinction across
the Tree of Life sounds bad it is but
the loss of so much life also pries open
fresh niches that allow new forms of
life to thrive for the famous KT impact
65 million years ago the one that ended
the reign of the dinosaurs as much as
two-thirds of all species were wiped out
but among those creatures that did
survive we find our mammal ancestors a
mere twig in the tree of life but
without dinosaurs to dine upon them
these early mammals could evolve into
something more ambitious like modern-day
primates like people asteroids you can't
live with them and you can't live
without it and that is the cosmic
perspective
