Why Are Dinosaur Fossils MORE Abundant Than Human Remains?

Показать описание

We don’t find as many human remains as dinosaur fossils because dinosaurs lived on the planet for millions of years, while humans have only been around for 200,000 years. Additionally, dinosaurs were not just one species but had hundreds of different types, while homo sapiens is only one species. Furthermore, some species of dinosaurs were exceptionally huge, making their bones easy to fossilize, while humans have relatively small skeletons, which are not as favorable to fossilization.

Today, the planet hosts around 8 billion+ human beings, but 10,000 years ago, things were completely different. In the first 20,000 to 30,000 years of human existence, there were very few humans, and they lived in select locations all over the world. On the off-chance that one of these “rare” humans happened to be buried or perish in a place that was conducive to fossilization, the likelihood of humans ever finding that specimen is very small!
