Even more surprising, while both of the newly discovered dinosaurs are unique to Africa, they seem to be related to species found in the Americas. When the dinosaurs began their reign 220 million years ago, all the planet's landmasses made up a single supercontinent known as Pangaea. Because land animals could move and mate at will, dinosaurs from that era look pretty similar all over the world. But by the end of the Jurassic period, about 150 million years ago, continental drift had torn Pangaea into a northern and a southern half, Laurasia and Gondwana. At that point, dinosaurs...
Instead, Carcharodontosaurus closely resembles certain North American carnivores. This implies that the species were exchanging genes well into the early Cretaceous period, which ended perhaps 100 million years ago. Did a bridge of land connect Laurasia and Gondwana after the rest of the landmasses had mostly separated? That's what the new evidence suggests. By 90 million years ago, the separation of continents was evidently complete; Deltadromeus and other African dinosaurs from that period are quite distinct...

Normally, such behavior would not get you far in the land of white-shirted "salarymen." But Shigeru Miyamoto, 43, has reached the top in the rarefied world of video-game designers by consistently creating games that kids can't resist. As a result, he's as revered as a rock star--and not just in Japan. Ex-Beatle Paul McCartney and movie directors Steven Spielberg and George Lucas have all traveled to Nintendo's famed E.A.D. (Entertainment Analysis and Development) lab in Kyoto to meet the man known as the Spielberg of video games...
