Lost World is a common concept in evolutionism, a well-defined way of thinking about evolution. If the great extinction was due to a change in the behavior of the Dinosauria, it is possible that some of these animals still live on Earth. They would not have gone extinct; they would still exist somewhere isolated on the planet, in a Lost World.
The search for this place gives rise to a novel of intrigue and adventure, with fast-paced action and debates about evolution (using the data some scientists had in 1995, which would surely require a different forum for discussion and nuance).
