This section of the text made me laugh a little bit. I thought it was funny to read about a great mind like Thomas Jefferson would doubt the existence of dinosaurs. Of course now this seems very trivial and silly, I can only imagine the controversy when the bones were first discovered. My question from this part of the text is; why hadn't people begun discovering bones from dinosaurs sooner? How did scientists first hypothesize about these new bones being from per-historic creatures?
