The extinction of dinosaurs, marking the end of the Cretaceous Period around 66 million years ago, remains one of the most fascinating subjects in paleontology and earth sciences. This catastrophic event not only wiped out nearly 75% of Earth’s species but also paved the way for mammals, and subsequently humans, to become the dominant life forms on our planet. The reasons behind this mass extinction have been debated for decades, with theories ranging from asteroid impacts to volcanic eruptions and climate changes. Here, we delve into the latest research and theories to provide insights into this ancient mystery.
