Dinosaurs and Economic Darwinism

Colin Read

Chapter 30 in The Rise and Fall of an Economic Empire, 2010, pp 256-270 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract While there are various theories that try to explain why the dominant species of dinosaurs became extinct, the theory of a sudden and cataclysmic event has gained the most currency. This theory of a major climatic disturbance arising from the crash of a meteor into the Gulf of Mexico did not kill off all living things. Rather, certain species suffered when their strengths in normal times became weaknesses once adaptability to a rapidly changing environment was essential.
