Synopsis

We pretty much all accept the idea that dinosaurs once roamed the earth, but this wasn’t always the case. A few centuries ago, nobody believed animals could even go extinct. It would take huge societal upheaval and a few very determined oddballs to change people’s minds. In this episode, we follow the eccentric geologists and fossil-hunters who uncovered the first dinosaur, with author Ian Lendler as our guide.This episode was written and produced by Arja Ray, Ben Mansky, and Nancy Cai. Ian’s book, The First Dinosaur: How Science Solved the Greatest Mystery on Earth, is available wherever books are sold.
