How would stepping on a butterfly back in Dino age create giant lizards with monkey heads?

I watched a really weird sci-fi movie where these people went back in timee. They stepped on a butterfly and when they came back into the present, there were giant trex lizards with monkey heads.





Just for the fun of it and hypothetically how can stepping on a prehistoric butterfly change evolution drastically?





I KNOW it's not real! Come on humor me nerds!|||It might be possible that by stepping on that butterfly, a certain plant didn't get pollinated, and because that plant didn't get pollinated, some species of fruit never evolved, and without that fruit, some individual of a herbivorous species of dinosaur starved to death when it wouldn't have, and so it wasn't there to feed a T. rex, and so that T. rex didn't pass on its genetic heritage, but instead the T. rex's mutant monkey-faced relative did - a T. rex that wouldn't have passed on its heritage if the butterfly had survived.





It's exceedingly unlikely that such a chain of events would occur, but it's actually a bit more plausible than the original short story (by Ray Bradbury), where after the guy steps on a butterfly in the Cretaceous, they come back to the future to discover the Nazis won. WTF? What chain of events could possibly result in such a subtle change 65 million years down the line?|||well, the butterfly dies and a hungry t-rex comes along and eats it and gets a rare kind of food poisoning that makes its head fall off, so being the big strong monster it is, it rips off a monkey's head and replaces it's own with it and then they eventually evolve to be like that naturally as the monkey head is smarter.|||lol, when u step on a butterfly u crush its genes(DNA) and they reform into some new gene.


so, when the butterfly has sex, its newborn will have a completely new gene, which in time will adapt to its surroundings.


Now when this new butterfly has sex of its own it too will create a new bread i.e huge lizards etc.|||We can never really know, its fun to think about though :)
