Palaeontologists have found what is likely to be the oldest known dinosaur, filling in a yawning evolutionary gap. A study in Biology Letters describes Nyasasaurus parringtoni, a new species from 10-15 million years before the previous earliest dinosaur specimens.
The dinosaurs are known to have died out at the end of the Cretaceous Period around 65 mâ¦illion years ago. Man in his current form only appeared around 200,000 years ago. Modern humans (also known as Homo sapiens) are a relatively recent branch of the Homo genus which is only about 2.3 to 2.4 million years old.
