Radioactive dating is the answer. For hard rock (Igneous and metamorphic) K, Sr, Ur dating technique can give estimated age of evolution. That was how the paleoevolution of the earth was achieved. The earth is estimated to be about 4.5billion years. For soft rock (sedimentary rocks) the above dating techniques may not be applicable. In this case relative dating techniques has been applied (i.e estimation of age from relative stratigraphic relationship with a rock of absolute known age) and the use of fossils known to occur within geologic period of established age. For very recent materials, (<13,000 years), carbon dating technique comes in handy but has little geologic use with respect to the age range. Carbon dating is mostly used in archeological studies. However, recent studies has shown that Re/Os dating can be applied with success on organic rich shales to yield accurate absolute age. As for the existence of dinousaurs, you know science deals with proven evidence even though we were not around when these happened. Body fossils (jaws, veterbrae, tooth and other hard body parts) of species that matches the dinosaurs description has been uncovered in so many places in the world. From the morphology of these fossils, full body has been reconstructed as models. The habitat, and other characteristics of these extinct animals has also been reconstructed. So you donot have to be there to believe. The present is key to the past (according to James Hutton, a renouned geologist). If not for the effort of some pro-conservation government and NGOs, a whole lot of species could have joined the dinosaurs at the rate they are hunted and their habitat destroyed by man. 1 Like |

ToluNazzal:Would you have been able to create a YouTube channel and ask us to rate it if not for scientific research. Am sure if you were around 100 yrs ago and you were told that a device called phone will exist and you will be able to create YouTube channel with the phone, your response with be this. "All lies.

seborrhic: Africans are only interested in entertainment not science. We have been living with River Niger for thousands of years but not interested to know about the water, it took some body from Scotland to come and discover the route of the River, We now named him as the founder of River Niger and teach our children about him(Mungo Park) We Africans will be seeing these scientists as fools or jobless people while they make names for themselves by making history. Our children will grow up someday and be reading about them 2 Likes |

ArewaGroup:baba leave talk jaare even if you were present during the old times you wouldn't have discovered river Niger. Africa as a whole distant itself to the rest of the world. We knew little about the outside world. When the whites first discovered this continent, they called it the dark continent. Its only Egypt I can say adapted well to early civilisation. Furthermore, Egypt has lost its glory I don't know why but when Egypt was flourishing in areas of architecture, medicine, and trade a lot of European countries where in there dark ages. You can't really blame our ancestors, you would just be like them if you were present with them in the old times. The responsibility should lie on us now. But are we even taking the chances? An average Africa man is not even able to put food on his own table. Times are hard the country is bad the government are not helping matters. We pour out lot of graduates every year but we don't have anything to show for it. It's not that we don't have brilliant minds but when kind of need an external force to reach our elastic limit. Africa need to stay woke and get back on track I know we may be way behind but the key to success is at hand we are not just making the most of it |

Gartol:The main problem with Africa is religion, Africa is still stuck in unproven religious quotes. How can a continent where almost everyone who lives in them are always paranoid and worrying about the end of the world progress? or move forward. people who believes in the end rather than the beginning. it is a race to the bottom. |

akmath:lol they use carbon dating, it might not be the exact age but they are usually close. The dinosaurs got extinct about 65million years ago. Some say 65-67 million years. There are many theories tied to the extinction of the dinosaurs but the most accepted one is that the earth was hit by a giant asteroid which wiped out more than 90% of living creatures back then. But you know a dinosaur are enormous creature, though no dinosaur fossils have been found to be 100% intact but archeologist use things like footprints, diet,fosdils rtc and other hints to visualize what the dinosaurs could actually look like. Just like the megalodon sharks( a specie of shark that existed some millions of years ago) No actually fossils have been found about these massive creatures except thier teeth. According to findings and analogies it is said that these sharks are so massive that they as big as the size of a bus Bottom line is these findings will tell us a great lot about how our planet was before human beings started exploring. 2 Likes |

gypsey:lol baba no be so. I am a Muslim and I am a strong believer but i am also a scientist. I read a lot about science related topics and articles especially astronomy, quantum physics and anything space related. I am not here to criticize your believe or anything but I don't think you should blame religion. Blame the worshippers who do not understand religion. For example, supposing you have a car and you want to know how good it is then you employ a driver who is not an expert to drive your car, he crashes the car who would the blame go to the driver or the car? Obviously the driver. Religion never asked us to be stupid, never asked us to be backward but those who do not understand what religion is all about makes someone think it is crap. Religion and science are two different things. I haven't read all religion scriptures but I am very sure no religion scripture is against discovery and science advancement, no religion scripture tells us to be lazy. It is the followers of the religion that just want to be. An average Nigerian will rather believe in prophecy from one Alfa or pastor instead of him to work hard. If the creator is lazy would the universe be in place ![]() An average Nigerian will rather curse a bad government instead of him to go out and vote during elections. The blame is on the individual not religion. We should all understand the purpose why we are here, make peace with our maker help solve the problem of humanity, love our neighbours and we will just be on the right track. 2 Likes 1 Share |
