Professor Andy Purvis from Imperial College London's Division of Biology explains: "Our research has shown that for the first 10 or 15 million years after the dinosaurs were wiped out, present day mammals kept a very low profile, while these other types of mammals were running the show. It looks like a later bout of 'global warming' may have kick-started todays diversity not the death of the dinosaurs.

Interessant, er zit nog een temperatuurstijging aan te komen. Ik ben benieuwd wat er dan gebeurd.
