Dinosaurs were doing well and could have continued to dominate Earth if they had not been wiped out by the asteroid impact 66 million years ago, according to new research from the University of Bath. Some scientists believe the creatures were already heading for extinction when the asteroid hit but researchers in the UK are hoping to put this theory to bed by using statistical analysis to assess whether the dinosaurs were still able to produce new species up until their untimely demise. “What we found is that the dinosaurs were still dominant, they were still widespread and still doing really well,” one study author said. ⁠
