Where did dinosaurs originate? Experts trace their beginnings to ancient equatorial hotspots
Scientists have made new discoveries about the origins of dinosaurs, suggesting they first emerged in dry, arid regions of Gondwana. Research published in Current Biology indicates that volcanic eruptions and climate adaptations played key roles in their evolution. Future fossil discoveries in underexplored regions like the Amazon and Congo could further redefine our understanding of dinosaur beginnings.
