I wonder what cognitive changes would arise as a consequence? Would cannibalism rise?
Stage one: 90-95% of people die
Stage two: the handful that haven't died learn how to practice agriculture
Stage three: Mesopotamia-tier lizard agricultural societies manage to access some old books, and rapidly tech up to electricity, BOS steelmaking, machine tools, and eventually microchips
Stage four: Lizards exceed humans, because they started out their global civilization with much better technology, and because you can fit more lizards on earth before you start to run into resource shortages.
Stage five: adorable little lizard hats

At first it'll just be acorns, tulip heads, and other concave forms of plant matter.
Ideally it will escalate to tiny pope hats or little astronaut helmets, as the lizard-people reach out into the cosmos with their tiny little paws.
Everyone would die
