DESCRIPTION:Dinosaurs ruled the world for over 150 million years\, went ex
 tinct\, and then mammals replaced them. This story is constantly repeated 
 in textbooks\, documentaries\, and museum exhibits. But the real story is 
 so much richer. In this talk\, University of Edinburgh palaeontologist Ste
 ve Brusatte (palaeontology advisor for Jurassic World: Dominion) will tell
  the tale of dinosaur history\, from their humble origins on the supercont
 inent Pangea\, through the evolution of earth-shaking giants and winged fl
 iers that turned into birds\, to the sudden death of all of the non-birds 
 when a giant asteroid hit the Earth 66 million years ago. He will then tur
 n describe how some small mammals weathered the chaos\, took advantage of 
 open niches\, and established our mammal-dominated world. The talk will fo
 llow the storylines of Brusatte's pop science books The Rise and Fall of t
 he Dinosaurs and the Rise and Reign of the Mammals\, copies of which will 
 be available for sale and signing.
