Science & Society | Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior

• Tuesday, December 3 @ 5:00 pm
• Lewes Public Library, Lewes, DE

Dinosaurs were among the more successful animals in Earth’s history, with some 1500 species stretching over 170 million years. But because they became extinct more than 65 million years ago, our understanding of their behaviors—from feeding and communication to reproduction, sociality, and combat—has been based on limited information from the fossil record. Now, a wealth of new specimens and cutting-edge techniques are shedding new light on how dinosaurs lived and interacted. Dinosaur expert David Hone, author of a new book, Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior: What they Did and How We Know, will guide us through this emerging field of prehistoric animal behavior and discuss recent insights from these studies.

Dr. Hone is Reader in Zoology at Queen Mary University of London. He is the author of more than 100 scientific papers on dinosaur biology and behavior and several books, including a series for children. He has also written for leading publications including National Geographic and The Guardian, appeared on many TV and radio broadcasts, and is the host of the podcast Terrible Lizards.
