Did dinosaurs live on the territory of Ukraine? Why did scientists quarrel over pterodactyls and who became the prototype of Indiana Jones? Paleontologist Vadym Yanenko knows the answers to these questions. In his book, he not only explains how to distinguish an archaeologist from a paleontologist, but also teaches how to determine the age of fossils in one's garden by the taste and sound of bones.
From now on, you will always remember that paleontology is not just about dinosaurs, but about ancient life forms in general - plant and animal. You will also learn what to do if you find strange bones in your garden and how to become a fossil yourself after death.
A paleontologist talks about the idea that the meteorite destroyed all the dinosaurs, mentions saber-toothed "cats" and hairy rhinos, explains who could be the prototype of a unicorn, and describes the work schedule of the father of paleontology. At the same time, he shares stories of researchers who liked to take the deceased's head home and those who made skeletons of monsters from the bones of real ancient animals and sold them to museums and monarchs.
Vadym Yanenko - scientist, candidate of biological sciences, ornithologist, paleobatracho-herpetologist, researcher of the paleontology department of the National Science and Natural History Museum of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Promoter of ornithology and paleontology. Conducts tours and conducts a telegram channel of paleontological memes under the name Paleo_daddy.
