What If the Dinosaurs Never Died — Would They Have Built Cities?

What if dinosaurs never went extinct? Inside a museum in Ottawa stands the Dinosauroid—a controversial model that answers what might have happened if the asteroid missed Earth 66 million years ago. In 1982, paleontologist Dale Russell looked at Stenonychosaurus, a small Cretaceous predator with a brain-to-body ratio six times larger than modern reptiles. Together with model-maker Ron Séguin, Russell calculated what 66 million years of uninterrupted evolution might produce. The result was not just a model, but a deep-time thought experiment in intelligence, tool use, and survival. From enlarged braincases and opposable thumbs to birdsong communication, explore the scientific reasoning behind paleontology's most famous speculative creature and what it reveals about evolution on Earth.
