where does the dinosaur fit in the vedic science on human evolution ?
Dashavatar slays Darwin demon
Rao told his scientific audience that while Darwin merely traced the evolution of species from marine animals to humans, the theory of Dashavatar (the 10 incarnations of Vishnu) went “beyond” by recording a further ascent from Ram to the “politically nuanced” Krishna.
“The Dashavatars start with the Matsya (fish) avatar, a marine animal. Then comes the Kurma (turtle) avatar, an amphibian,” he said, committing a boo-boo, for turtles are reptiles.
Last January, junior education minister Satyapal Singh had dismissed Darwin’s theory as “scientifically wrong” because “no one has ever seen a monkey turn into a man”, although Darwin never claimed such transformations in one’s lifetime, nor proposed human witnesses to other humans’ evolution.
“The third avatar is the Varaha, in which Vishnu becomes a boar to save the earth,” Rao said. “The fourth is Narasimha, half-lion and half-human. The fifth is Vaman, the dwarf — a complete human but with little maturity.”
Rao seemed to skip the sixth incarnation: the warrior Brahmin Parashuram. “Then comes Ram, a perfect human, and later Krishna, a more knowledgeable, logical one — he is more of a politician. We believe that Krishna is a politician but Ram isn’t. This (evolution) goes on,” he said.
Reports did not quote him mentioning the ninth avatar, the Buddha. (Some traditions, though, have Krishna as the ninth avatar while his elder brother Balaram is the eighth.) The tenth, yet unborn, avatar is Kalki, the apocalyptic horseman with a sword of fire.
Rao claimed that Darwin’s theory stops with the appearance of humans but “our science” goes “beyond”.
“By the time of the Vaman avatar we became humans, but beyond that (we) matured (into higher kinds of) humans. We thought beyond; our sages and saints thought beyond,” he said.
“That is why they proposed Dashavatar, which is a better theory than the theory of evolution proposed by Darwin.”

this Andhra University VC (Vedic charlatan) dont seem to know that when the 1st incarnation fish appeared human were present on earth. Furthermore the fish saving human was borrowed from Tamil source that alludes to the deluge of Kumari Kandam (sunken continent)
the fish saving the Kumari kandam dravidian king and his entourage from the deluge (source: hindu purana - mythology)
