24 Hours In The Past (Volume 2) by Landiahazak

There are so many creatures that once roamed planet Earth, our own little oasis in the vast expanse of the desert we call the cosmos. But what were these creatures like? What would their everyday lives have been like? Well I'm here to answer those questions. In every episode we'll take a look at a day in the life of one of these creatures. Whether it be the apex predator of its environment or a small creature at the bottom of the food chain, there's never a dull moment in the lives of these amazing creatures. So join me, as we travel back in time and meet the creatures that once roamed this planet. Note: As time passes, there's a strong possibility that my book will becomes less accurate as we discover more and more about Earth's past. But for now my book will provide the currently most accurate information we have. Also some of the creatures that are depicted in the episodes may not have been discovered in the exact location that this story takes place in, but rather in the areas around it. Also, all of the pictures or videos belong to their respective owners.

We Eukaryotes by duncmacphun

About 1.5 billion years ago, the single-celled eukaryotes became the common ancestors of all multicellular plants, animals, and fungi. Fish evolved a primitive lung sac and four limbs, 350 million years ago, so they could crawl between fresh water swamps. About 250 million years ago, the ancestors of all mammals, were tiny nocturnal insectivores and, about 6 million years ago, we began walking on two legs. The most recent Ice Age (2.6 million to 12,000 years ago), severely reduced rainfall in Africa, where Homo habilis was evolving. In Homo erectus (1.9 to 0.5 million years ago), cranial capacity increased to between 850 and 1000 cm3 implying the phenomenal increase of 125,000 more neurons with each generation. Between 70 and 50 thousand years ago, Homo sapiens spread out from east Africa. Then, about 20,000 years ago, evolution made a sharp change in direction. After 250 million years, we ceased to be hunter gatherers. The Neolithic Revolution meant we could never go back. WHO THE HELL ARE WE? is a series of short books and videos describing the evolution of civilization. Almost everyone on the planet is five times wealthier than their ancestors only 50 years ago. This astonishing phenomenon has also improved health, education, and longevity. The cause; an explosive growth in ideas and productivity. It began when we learned to control fire, evolved articulate speech and stumbled onto the way to create infinite wealth; free trade. The discovery of agriculture made us richer but we also learned how to destroy wealth. Great civilization grew up but then disappeared leaving only incredible ruins and ideas. Later books detail some of the ideas and developments that increased the average life span from about 40 years to more than 80 and the average world income from less than $3 to more than $33 per person per day (and to $140 per day in some countries).

Dinosaurs Don't Dance by JoelleSC

Cowboys and dinosaurs. Where the western world had saurian denizens as normal as six-shooters. The 19th century comes alive with an adventure of unlikely friendships and the battle against dinosaur cruelty and colonial skirmishes. Follow the trio: A shrewd businessman whose love comes unrequited, a devoted dino caretaker who refuses to tame her spirit, and a relentless hunter too reckless for his own good. Amidst the backdrop of daring shootouts, classic high-stakes train heists, and dinosaur hunting, they race against time to stop all-out war. ═══════ 𝙿𝚁𝙴𝚅𝙸𝙴𝚆 Randall's scowl deepened. "It seems we differ in our understanding of what constitutes cruelty to God's creatures. I have no desire to subjugate nature through force when harmony can be cultivated through ethical practices. Our goal is to empower mankind through merit, not shows of dominance." Shaw's smile tightened slightly at the rebuke. "You paint me as some brutal slavedriver. Where does your morality stand with the hadrosaurs that pull our carriages? The Centrosaurus' ploughing your fields without pay or vacation, helpless before any whip or spur? Even the natives have already made use of Pachies (Pachycephalosaurus) to safeguard their land. A few scars mean little to creatures that dedicate their lives to man's service. These dinosaurs depend utterly on humans for survival. We could shoot them all and make this a man's world when we wanted. Oh, that's right!

Dinosaurs Exist (MHA x Reader) by ShiraFangirl

"How many times do you have to see the evidence? How many times must the point be made? We're causing our own extinction. Too many red lines have been crossed, and our home has in fundamental ways been polluted by avarice and political megalomania. Genetic power has now been unleased and of course that's gonna be catastrophic. This change was inevitable from the moment we brought the first dinosaur back from extinction. We convinced ourselves that sudden change is something that happens outside the normal order things like a car crash or it's beyond control like a fatal illness we don't conceive a sudden radical, irrational change as woven into a very fabric of existence. Yet I can assure you, it most assuredly is. And it's happening now. Humans and dinosaurs are not gonna be forced to coexist. These creatures were here before us and if we're not careful they're gonna be here after. We're gonna have to adjust to new threats that we can't imagine. We've entered a new era. Welcome to Jurassic World." -Dr. Ian Malcolm (2018)

Welcome to the Camp Cretaceous Archives At this time you will learn more about what happened on Isla Nublar and much more, this time you will learn about all the creatures that our campers managed to discover during their survival on Isla Nublar I hope you like what you will find in the Isla Nublar species archives, you probably don't know many Prehistoric Creatures found here, for the reason that you don't recognize the creatures, or because they were never mentioned by the Campers or because they were never exhibited in the park for the reason of being Classified A FACT YOU SHOULD KNOW: What you will see here will only be the archives of the prehistoric creatures of Isla Nublar. We will not cover much on the events in which the Campers found each species, we will see that topic in the series on YouTube or in the Novelized Version of the series (The creatures and events explained in this book and in the "Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous | Lost Files" series are NOT canon, about what I mean by "NOT CANON" I mean that they did not occur in the events of the original franchise of Jurassic World, but maybe some events happened, who knows... probably the Arthropleura existed in Jurassic World) I hope you enjoy this experience in meeting more prehistoric creatures never before discussed in Jurassic World, see you in the next MORE DETAILS IN THE BOOK IN GENERAL ©Andoriu - Kun
