  Global Warming Triggered Reptile Boom Millions of Years Ago: Says Study

  A new study indicates that global warming, rather than mass extinction was behind a boom in reptile population and diversity. Researchers, from the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology and the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University, have revealed that the evolution of reptiles began much earlier than previously thought.
