In this episode there is a humanoid species that supposedly evolved from dinosaurs, then left earth about 20 million years ago and settled in the delta quadrant.
If so, why was there no evidence on earth of this species? In the episode they talk about how it could’ve occurred on an isolated continent, but humans have colonized every inch of the earth. I doubt an advanced species would limit itself to one continent.
Why would they leave earth?
Why would they go to the delta quadrant?
Why didn’t any other galactic species know about this history on earth? They couldn’t have been the only species capable of faster than light travel 20 million years ago.
I seriously doubt that all of Antarctica, let alone any of the more habitable continents or the land under the oceans, would be fully colonized- and, more importantly, archaeologically excavated- by 2371.
Thye learned to hide well from the little egg-stealing, milk-sucking furballs. Then the monkeys learned to build spaceships and came after them. Should have nuked the Homeworld when they had the chance.
Every inch was an exaggeration. In the episode they make the assumption that the dinosaurs may have been limited to a single continent, which if you are technologically advanced enough for space travel makes no sense because you should be able to cross oceans.
Perhaps, as they were specifically noted as being descended from some hadrosaur (paralophosaurus?) the ancestrial population was collected as non-sentient food animals, and then uplifted at some point in the last umpty-million years.
