Hi all, thanks for taking the time. So I really enjoyed the two recent works by Steve Brusatte, The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs and The Rise and Reign of the Mammals. Both are fantastic and I really enjoy how they get specific about the advantage of different biological systems. Good example is how a dinosaurs lungs can take in oxygen on both the inhale and exhale vs our setup that only takes it in on the inhale. I’ve read some other articles that are specific about the advantages and disadvantages of human vs animal systems and would appreciate some suggestions on books that cover this kind of thing.
