Dinosaurs Cold Blooded? Warm blood seems necessary for a high capacity brain
Abstract
Besides human ego, there was another obstacle to the idea of intelligence in dinosaurs. Dinosaurs were believed to be cold blooded—they were reptiles—reptiles and lizards are cold blooded. Warm blood seems necessary for a high capacity brain. Today there is no such objection to the evolution of intelligence in the dinosaurs—they were warm blooded! They were not cold blooded and sluggish reptiles—they were not reptiles. And they were active, not sluggish. Who Lies Sleeping? The Dinosaur Heritage and the Extinction of Man by Dr Michael D Magee.
