In a paper published in Science magazine, researchers from the University of Washington, Seattle have concluded that it is not likely that many of the extinctions on Earth were caused by cometary collisions. Whilst this is very interesting, it still leaves the question - if not comets, then what did cause these mass extinctions? Global warming?
Monday's questions are: -
- Which crime writer was born in Oxford today in 1920 and created the detective Adam Dalgliesh?
- What is the first name of Radio and TV broadcaster Sir Terry Wogan (right) who was born today in 1938 in Limerick?
- Which First World War poet was born today in 1887 and wrote the poem "The Soldier" that begins, "If I should die, think only this of me: That there's some corner of a foreign field, That is for ever England."?
