If an Asteroid wiped out the Dinosaurs how did Evolution continue?

[CapnAwesome]

Well the dinosaurs actually went extinct over a long period of time after the asteroid impact. It's not like it killed them right away, rather climate change triggered by the asteroid is what killed them. Mammals and other smaller animals were better able to survive in the new environment and that's what eventually evolved into us and all the modern mammals. Mammals have been around for quite a bit. It's all very interesting and the fact that you are looking into it is very good. I don't think your question is a stupid one, just one of an inquiring mind. I'd say keep researching and have fun.

There is a good Nova series that you can find on evolution that answers a lot of questions like the ones you have. I'd highly recommend it. It's easy to find online.
