Jurassic World Dominion: living with dinosaurs
Season 1
•
As Jurassic World: Dominion is released in cinemas, we’re asking the question: could humans feasibly live alongside dinosaurs?
The third and final movie in the sequel trilogy features three characters from the original Jurassic Park film, who haven’t been seen on screen together since 1993.
Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern and Sam Neill are reprising their roles as Ian Malcolm, Ellie Sattler and Alan Grant, who now live in a world where dinosaurs live among humans, following the destruction of the island Isla Nebula.
We speak with Palaeontologist Joe Bonsor from the Natural History Museum about the dinos we could live with, those we definitely couldn’t, and how some species would cope with today’s global conditions.
Joe takes us through the science behind climates then and now, between the Cretaceous Period and today, and explains how learning about conditions millions of years ago can help us understand what’s happening to our climate now.
In this episode:
- Could humans and dinosaurs coexist?
- Coming face-to-face with Velociraptors and a T-Rex
- How would different species from different eras react to each other?
- What kind of climate did they live in, and could they cope in today’s conditions?
- Would the high carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere today suit dinosaurs?
- How dinosaurs would migrate to better-suited conditions
- Using data from the dino-era to predict climate changes in future
- Is there any chance 'dino-DNA' could be used to bring them back one day?
