Steve Brusatte Interview Episode 41

Matt Crawford speaks with author Steve Brusatte about his book, The Rise and Reign of The Mammals, A New History, from the Shadow of the Dinosaurs to Us. Brusatte traces the evolution of Mammals and their amazing journey through history and takes us along for the ride. A sweeping and eye-opening lesson that includes illustrations and Brusatte's own field work to really bring us back in time and show us, how we became what we are today. The history of dinosaurs and mammals is often thought of as separate, but it is intimately linked and while mammals were somewhat in the shadow of dinosaurs, the largest animal to ever live is on earth now and is a mammal! Brusatte is true rock star and Paleontology Advisor for the film, Jurassic World Dominion. Eat your heart out Chris Pratt!!
