Against the backdrop of the Industrial Revolution, an extraordinary circle of fossilists struggled to make sense of a mysterious, prehistoric world�a world they had to piece together from the fossilized and often fragmentary remains of animals never before seen.
The nineteenth-century pioneers of these new disciplines were an eccentric lot which included a working class woman, an Oxford professor with a theatrical bent, a crisis-ridden country doctor who was never quite accepted among London�s scientific elite, and an expert anatomist who once dissected a rhino in his own living room, and ultimately coined the word dinosaur in 1842.
These were the Dragon Seekers, the people who brought the myths to life, and whose work within a populace raised on a literal interpretation of Genesis laid the groundwork for the revolutionary ideas of Darwin. |
