Description
Discover the latest frontiers in dinosaur research with Dr David Hone. Over the past two centuries, our understanding of these creatures has grown exponentially, with each new discovery shedding light on their biology, behaviour and evolution. Despite the significant advances in palaeontological methods and the vast number of dinosaur fossils unearthed, there is still much that remains unknown. From the sizes and shapes of bones to the identification of fossil skin, footprints and bite marks, scientists have been able to reconstruct a remarkable picture of these extinct animals. However, there are still many unanswered questions, such as the impact of parasites and diseases, the nature of their communication and their ability to climb trees. Dr Hone's book explores the recent strides in scientific research and the advanced knowledge gathered in recent years, as well as what we hope to learn in the future about these fascinating creatures.
