I was at a friends garage, going thru some boxes and this book was in there, looks interesting, he told me I could have it if I wanted, so Im curious if anyones read it…from what I gather, its a hyptothetical look at IF reptiles that lived LONG ago, ever evolved into a bipedal being…I know!!.. Ive already heard all the reptilian conspiracy theories before… LOL
 
I read it six years ago and as I recall, its focus was on human consciousness.

It sounds similar to an episode of one of the Star Trek series. One species of dinosaur had developed intelligence and technology and left Earth to avoid the catastrophe that wiped out the dinosaurs. I have always found it interesting that no species of dinosaur ever developed human level intelligence even though they existed on this planet far far longer than humans and their close ancestors have been around. Our intelligence has allowed us to dominate this planet yet not one other species has evolved this intelligence. It seems like the human brain has evolved for more than mere survival.

If they lived as long as we are told, then surely some must have evolved, we can look to our own short history to see that species DO evolve…hmmm, interesting
