Who knows what life would have looked like on Earth if an extinction-level event hadn't killed all of the dinosaurs? I highly doubt the dinosaurs would have let us evolve and take over the planet the way we did. While that's just speculation, what seems clearer is that other plants and animals might have developed differently if those big beasts had stayed around.
According to a new study from the Field Museum, one of the plants that the dinosaur extinction might have directly impacted is the grape. Whether you love the fruit, the raisins, or the wine, it appears that grapes were able to evolve and spread thanks to that asteroid that hit the planet all those millions of years ago, wiping nearly everything living on the planet.
