Tech & Science Daily | Jurassic World Dominion: living with dinosaurs

As Jurassic World: Dominion is released in cinemas, we’re asking the question: could humans feasibly live alongside dinosaurs?

The third and final movie in the sequel trilogy features three characters from the original Jurassic Park film, who haven’t been seen on screen together since 1993.

Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern and Sam Neill are reprising their roles as Ian Malcolm, Ellie Sattler and Alan Grant, who now live in a world where dinosaurs live among humans, following the destruction of the island Isla Nebula.

We speak with Palaeontologist Joe Bonsor from the Natural History Museum about the dinos we could live with, those we definitely couldn’t, and how some species would cope with today’s global conditions.

Joe takes us through the science behind climate then and now, between the Cretaceous Period and today, and explains how learning about conditions millions of years ago can help us understand what’s happening to our climate now.
