A new study by UK scientists at the University of Bristol has found evidence that jars have been virtually unchanged for 200 million years, eternal dinosaurs as well as other plants and animals destroyed by asteroids entered the Yucatan peninsula about 66 million years ago. According to a report published by Bristol University, scientists have now explained how jars follow a pattern of evolution known as ‘punctuated equilibrium’. A study by the study’s lead author Dr. Max Stockdale shows that using a machine learning algorithm has found an estimate of evolutionary rates.

Stockdale said the rate of evolution is the rate of change that occurs over a given period of time.

For their study, researchers measured body size, which is important because it shows how fast animals grow, how much food they need, how large they are and how likely they are to go. extinct.

As per the authors of the study, their findings show that the limited diversity of crocodiles and their lack of evolution are due to a slower rate of evolution. According to them, potters seem to have come up with a body plan that was very efficient and flexible enough that they would not have to change or come up with to survive.

Researchers have suggested that the flexibility could be one explanation for why pottery survived the meteor effect at the end of the Cretaceous period. Crocodiles usually thrive better in warmer weather as they are able to control body temperature and require warmth from the environment.

As the climate at the age of dinosaurs became warmer, there were many more crocodile species than there are now. Dr Stockdale said it is interesting to study the close relationship between the earth and the living things that live on it. He went on to say that the crocodiles saw a way of life that was flexible enough to accommodate environmental changes that had occurred since the time of the dinosaurs.
