Discover the latest research achievements on dinosaurs with Dr. David Hone. Since the first discovery of dinosaurs in the early 1800s, our relentless desire to uncover everything about these creatures has evolved. Each generation has made tremendous strides in understanding these living beings, and in the last twenty years we have made more discoveries than in the previous two hundred years.

There have been exceptional advancements in paleontological methods, and the increasing number of fossilized bones promise a wealth of new data and huge leaps in our understanding of these incredible animals. Over time, we have been able to examine the sizes and shapes of bones, differentiate pieces of fossilized skin, analyze footprints and bites, and calculate mass estimations and walking speeds.

With surprisingly little data at our disposal, we can synthesize a picture of a species that has been extinct for a million human lifetimes. However, despite our technological advances and two centuries of new data and ideas, much remains unknown. What parasites and diseases afflicted them? How did they communicate? Did they climb trees? How many species existed?

In the book "The Future of Dinosaurs", paleontologist Dr. David Hone examines the recent advancements in scientific research and the advanced knowledge we have gathered in recent years, as well as what we hope to learn in the future about these most fascinating of extinct characters.
