For decades, we’ve been told the dinosaurs were wiped out by a single catastrophic asteroid impact — a story that has become almost mythic in its simplicity. But what if that isn’t the full truth? In this episode, host Matt Crawford speaks with Professor Gerta Keller, one of the world’s leading paleontologists and a bold voice challenging conventional science.
