Fungus head out to seed another planet.

Evolution by Stephen Baxter (Wikipedia) was an interesting read.
Note: Baxter can be dry at times but i always enjoy the worlds he creates.I respect the hell out of Baxter, he's a hard sci-fi artist. However, he's so unrelentingly bleak I had to quit reading his stuff.

Everything in the system evolves into a cloud of dust and gas about 27 million years from now.
That's... that's very soon. What do you know‽

Anteaters are more likely than weasels

Can you share where you felt that way? Been a while since I've read him.

I knew exactly which videos those were before clicking on the links

The midpoint to the end of Evolution, humans basically devolve and ultimately go extinct.
It's been awhile since I've read anything by him as well.
I remember another book where artifically created people inside a dwarf star were dying due to solar harvesting, IIRC. I remember it being depressing but fascinating. Don't remember how it ends.

you seem like an expert and I was actually wondering this yesterday while I was out on a walk cause I tend to think about silly things. So Theropods evolved into birds right? what about Sauropods or like Triceratops? or did they just go extinct

Even grass evolves to tree - look at bamboo

I don't mind being a crab imagine not working. Just be crab.

Everything becomes crab on long enough timeline, Daniel-san. Be the lobster! Shell on. Shell off. Sift the floor.

360° could be implying they are already that and that they'll go through some cycle from being modern dinosaurs into future dinosaurs, but remaining much the same at the start and end positions. Or they were one of the many that never did understand angles and degrees during geometry

Misusing 360° where you should use 180° is a running joke

wow this is fascinating, thanks for sharing!

Groups never evolve into something. Species do.
Theropods are a group comprising a lot of species.
There was one species of theropod that evolved a few characterics we associate with birds. They evolved into a few species and some of them evolved into yet more species. They're at the origin of the whole bird group.
See it like a tree with branches branching out with many branchss just getting cut short. One of that branching branch is the bird group, and it's on the branching branch of theropod.
And yes, the branching branchs that are Sauropods and Ornithischia were all completely cut at the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction 65 million years ago.
