Stemming from the knowledge of Plate Climatology, I would contend that the broad Southern Ocean was formed by the opening of the Peru/Chile Trench (driving the El Niño) and the Tonga Trench (driving the La Niña) over geological time frames. The Earth has been expanding since it started decompressing from the earliest years.
An extension of this line of thinking would logically be that prior to the Tonga Trench and the Peru/Chile Trench, the Marianna Trench, the deepest trench in the would act alone to provide a continuous La Niña, with heavy rains across the center of North America and drought across Europe. Dinosaur bones have been discovered in places such as Montana.
Heavier rains produced greater humidity and lower atmospheric pressure. Humidity lessens the density of air. Lower atmospheric pressure at sea level resulted in dinosaurs with large nasal systems along the spine.
The Alvarez hypothesis holds that large asteroid or meteor strikes caused the great extinctions. Dr. Gerta Keller has provided a different cause for the great extinctions. That is, periods of lengthy, extensive volcanism injected highly acidic sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere as well as into the oceans. The SO2 caused defoliation as well as anoxic oceans, leading to marine extinctions. Plodding dinosaurs living close to sea level and suffocated.
It is now thought that the earliest mammals were rodents. One clue is our dental structure, which allow mammals to be omnivores, rather than strictly herbivores. The rodents could scramble to higher elevations and evade the clouds of SO2. Marmosets still live at high elevations in the Rocky Mountains. The early winged dinosaurs could also fly above the clouds of SO2 to escape the deadly fumes. Birds are the descendants of these winged dinosaurs.
With human evolution stemming from rodents, there is another growing
line of Evolutionary thought that the human geonome is the "Central
Line†of evolution with lesser species as dead ends or sub-optimizatio
Another piece of evidence for human evolution stemming from rodents are the numerous rats which occupy positions of political power.
Those rats just climbed higher up the ladder than the rest of us. Heh. Heh.
It has been speculated that humanity briefly returned to the water. That explains a number of unique human attributes, like tear ducts and rudimentary webbing between our toes and a number of other things (like our having less hair.) Not sure I buy it but it is an intriguing thought.
So perhaps it's not rodents in Washington but crocodiles? Or Crock-o-dials, we could call them.
