The Future of Dinosaurs

In The Future of Dinosaurs, palaeontologist Dr David Hone tells us everything we know about dinosaurs – and everything we don’t yet know.

We have made more discoveries about dinosaurs in the last 20 years than we have in the previous 200, and there is a wealth of cutting edge research that has never been written about before, from their skin (some had feathers) to their extinction (the myth of the meteorite), much of which is David’s own personal research and discovery.

How does it feel to discover a new dinosaur? David Hone can tell you – he has personally discovered 12 new species himself. And there is much still to discover. What colour were dinosaurs? Did they mate for life? How did they rear their young? Did they migrate in winter? How did they communicate? Did they eat fish? Just what are the T-Rex’s tiny arms actually for?

The Future of Dinosaurs shows the extraordinary advances in palaeontological research that are starting to fill in these gaps, and sets out the future of dinosaurs for the next generation.
