Could dinosaurs have evolved a similar level of intelligence to humans if they hadn’t been wiped out 66 million years ago? Palaeontologist Dr Darren Naish, from the University of Southampton, imagines how dinosaurs from the end of the Cretaceous period might have developed bigger brains and higher intelligence and explains why they would still look nothing like humans.
