The Origin of Dinosaurs ~ with Michael Hudgins
Show Notes Chapter Markers

Dinosaurs lived between 230 and 65 million years ago - long before we humans were around. But how did THEY come about? What creatures gave rise to the dinos we know best, the T-Rex, Stegosaurus, Triceratops and the rest?

MARK from Evolution Soup presents a fully-illustrated interview with MICHAEL HUDGINS of the University of Alberta, Canada on the fascinating origins of dinosaurs, going back to the Triassic period to look at the 'pseudosuchians' - crocodile-like creatures that ruled the world at that time and whose lineage gave way to the rise of dinosaurs.


Michael Hudgins is a systematics and evolution masters student studying paleontology at the University of Alberta under Dr. Corwin Sullivan.

What is it exactly that a palaeontologist does, in both the lab and the field?
At the start of the Triassic dinosaurs weren’t the top dogs at all, were they?
Do we know how pseudosuchians were replaced by dinosaurs?
What is an ornithopod and how does the study of these creatures relate to the rise of dinosaurs in general?
If you were to say anything right now on the subject of evolution and why it’s important, what would you say?
