After the dinosaur-killing asteroid hit, giant birds became apex predators for tens of millions of years – and humans were among their prey.

      uh? there is no paywall on the BBC. They might ask to get on a mailing list but just close the pop up

        Weird how I’m seeing a paywall then. Maybe you don’t see one if you’re in the UK.

          I’m in the US and I’m getting an uncloseable paywall once I scroll down a bit.

          It’s definitely done by country. I think North America is paywalled. It’s not paywalled in my country.

      That’s why they walked most of the way. Gandalf knew those hobbits would be too tasty to resist.

      Don’t be such a Doomer. There is plenty of good stuff in these times too. Like your mum not dying during childbirth and access to music over the internet.

    This is news to me. I was under the impression that humans don’t ever know to look up in most situations precisely because we never had any predators that hunt us from above. Therefore there wouldn’t have been evolutionary pressure to be wary of things above us.
