An Advanced Species May Have Lived on Earth Before Humans

The Silurian Hypothesis, which assesses modern science's ability to detect evidence of a prior advanced civilization, is a thought experiment. Could there have been a technologically advanced species before the homo sapiens? Why is there a possibility of this being true, when we haven't found any evidence of it, but found evidence of other species like the dinosaurs? All this and more is explained and discussed in a video here on Novella's Youtube Channel.
