But what happened ?

Hint: Dinosaurs

 

[honestrosewater]

Mister Rogers' younger brother?

 

[djeipa]

What makes you think so ?

 

[honestrosewater]

I don't think so. That was my way of asking for another hint.

Did he study dinosaurs, or are you just saying that he's old?

 

[brudally]

I don't think so. That was my way of asking for another hint.

Did he study dinosaurs, or are you just saying that he's old?

I think both. Human beings actually evolve from "things".

 

[Optep]

What hint are you asking for ? I really don't understand the op's question at all ?

 

[honestrosewater]

This is a game. We're supposed to guess who the person is.

 

[wolram]

Rex Harrison ?

Luis Alvarez!

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Luis Alvarez!

Yep!

Iridium in the K-T Boundary layer recognized which lead to the theory of meteor impacts as the source of mass extinctions.

Investigated the effect of bullets on the head and showed that a head can and will lunge in the direction from which the bullet entered. He shot watermelons, among other things.

The first picture is Alvarez's ID badge photo from Los Alamos.

Ishi, the last Yahi.

Correct!

I had a friend who lived right next to the spot where he was found. A monument stands there that tells a bit of the story.
