Did dinosaurs evolve into birds before or after a meteor killed all the dinosaurs?
Birds evolved in the late Jurassic Period about 150 to 145 million years ago. This was about 90 to 95 million years before the asteroid impact that marked the K-T extinction event.Just a sub note that most scientist recognise that birds are a specialised branch of the therapod dinosaur. Birds are dinosaurs in the same way cats are mammals.
What will probably be without the dinosaurs extinct?
For one thing, humans wouldn't exist. If the dinosaurs had survived, the small mammals that would have eventually evolved into humans wouldn't have had the chance. Most large mammals - lions, elephants, moose, kangaroos, etc. - wouldn't have had the chance to evolve either. All the big, widespread species would be reptiles or birds.
