Des paysages étranges, une chaleur torride et (parfois) des crocodiles enragés attendent les scientifiques qui cherchent des indices sur le génie de l'évolution. Le paléontologue Paul Sereno raconte ses rencontres surprenantes avec la préhistoire -- et évoque une nouvelle manière d'aider les étudiants à se joindre à l'aventure.

Surely not the only science career based on a museum tour epiphany, Paul Sereno's is almost certainly the most triumphant. He's dug up dinosaurs on five continents -- and discovered the world's largest crocodile, the (extinct) 40-foot Sarchosuchus. Full bio »
