74. The Science of Dinosaurs

We may think we know it all about the dinosaurs, and their end, but new discoveries continue to emerge and this week Luke delves into all that is new in the prehistoric world – including the “ultimate dinosaur drumstick” and what this one special bone is telling us. We learn about the tiny shrew which arrived after the dinosaurs, and which we evolved from and how aerosols and dust were the ultimate end for the dinosaurs. It is a story of pure chance and random events that altered our earth entirely, and Luke is only too happy to dive in.
