The Savage Earth timeline explores the history of the world -and of mankind in particular- had the dinosaurs not died out 65 million years ago.

This timeline is based on three majpr premises:

1) The K-T extinction never takes place.

2) There is minimal evolution within the dinosaur species.

3) Mankind still emerges (albeit from colder climes and with a slightly different physiology).


On Dinosaur Nomenclature

In this timeline, Dinosaurs are referred to by the scientific and common names used in our timeline, e.g. Iguanodon or Tyrannosaurs Rex. Certainly, had man coexisted with dinosaurs (as in the Savage Earth timeline), very different and more common names would have developed for each dinosaur. Still, for the ease of the reader, the names from our timeline are used to refer to specific dinosaurs.
