When Homo Sapiens Roamed the Earth ...

Year 8 Science class:

Two boys were engaged in heated debate; as I neared them, one appealed to me for support:

"Sir, aren't homo sapiens a kind of dinosaur?"

"No. They're humans."

"What?"

Incredulous, he turned to the teaching assistant.

"Miss, homo sapiens are a kind of dinosaur, aren't they?"

Miss didn't even pause to consider. Like a sleepy-eyed monarch signalling the executioner, she nodded, Yes.

I was wrong.

wrong Homo Sapians are definetly not Dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs were a group of vertabrates which dominated the earth between triassic and late Cretaceous periods.

Homo sapians emerged only in the pleistocene period a full 65.5 million years later !
