Proven by DNA testing. I am reading a book right now regarding evolution and bipedalism and it notes that crocodiles and birds diverged kind of together from dinosaurs and then diverged from each other.

I wonder, if we'd die out today, how much of who we were and how we lived could be reproduced from evidence in 100 million years from now? I assume the space probes, such as Voyager 1 and 2, could theoretically still be largely intact (unless they crash into a planet or star). But what other man-made thing would survive 100 million years? What might a city like NYC look like if left alone for that long?

Probably much the same as it looked in the 80's.
