Field Note

Could Humans Survive the Age of Dinosaurs?

Human survival in Mesozoic ecosystems would depend less on physical strength and more on information, mobility, and shelter strategy. Predator scale and unfamiliar pathogens would punish static settlements. In practical terms, survival would require early-warning systems, elevated refuges, and strict route timing around migration corridors.

The thought experiment is central to prehistoric fiction because it stresses what culture can do under environmental pressure. World of Tethys uses this same logic: ecological feedback loops shape social choices, and survival depends on reading the landscape correctly.
