The Lost World of the Dinosaurs: Armin Schmitt
In this episode we’re travelling millions of years into the past to uncover the secrets of Earth’s ancient history. My guest is Armin Schmitt a renowned palaeontologist based at Cambridge University and author of the book, ‘The Lost World of the Dinosaurs.’ (www.amazon.co.uk/Lost-World-Dinosaurs-Uncovering-Prehistoric/dp/1335081216)
We discuss the fascinating world of dinosaurs, their evolution, and their lasting impact on our understanding of life on Earth. Armin explains the definition of dinosaurs, their size and duration on the planet, and how birds are their modern descendants.
We hear about the significance of feathers, the global distribution of dinosaurs, their dietary habits, and the catastrophic asteroid impact that led to their extinction. Armin emphasises the adaptability and innovation of dinosaurs, challenging common misconceptions about their extinction.
The episode concludes with some surprising aspects of dinosaur life, including their feeding habits, social structures, and intelligence. Armin also shares insights into the challenges of paleontological research and offers advice for aspiring paleontologists, emphasising the importance of curiosity and continuous learning.
