Out now: the new book by Dr David Hone which explores the frontiers
of dinosaur research __________ Ever since we first started
discovering dinosaurs in the early-1800s, our obsession for
uncovering everything about these creatures has been insatiable.
Each generation has made huge strides in trying to better our
understanding of these animals and in the past twenty years, we
have made more discoveries than in the previous two hundred. There
have been extraordinary advances in palaeontological methods and
ever more dinosaur fossils promise a landslide of new data and huge
leaps forward in our understanding of these incredible animals.
Over time, we have been bale to look at the sizes and shapes of
bones, we have identified patches of fossil skin, we have looked at
footprints and bite marks and we've calculated mass estimates and
walking speeds. With surprisingly little data to work from, we can
put together a picture of an animal that has been extinct for a
million human lifetimes. But for all our technological advances,
and two centuries of new data and ideas, there is stull much more
we don't know. What parasites and diseases afflicted them? How did
they communicate? Did they climb trees? How many species were
there? In The Future of Dinosaurs, palaeontologist Dr David Hone
looks at the recent strides in scientific research and the advanced
knowledge we've gathered in recent years, as well as what we hope
to learn in the future about these most fascinating of extinct
creatures. __________
