It\u2019s easy to see how fossils can teach us what ancient animals looked like, or how they evolved. But what about the ways they moved, ate, socialized, reproduced? In this episode, we explore the innovative ways paleontologists have devised to interpret the behavior of ancient animals. From their bones, their tracks, their living relatives, and modern clever experimentation, we can come to understand more than you\u2019d ever imagine about behavior in the fossil record.\nIn the news: a Denisovan jaw, a new bat-winged dinosaur, a cave of wonders, and a flapping robot.\nTime markers: Intro & Announcements: 00:00:00News: 00:05:30Main discussion, Part 1: 00:32:30Main discussion, Part 2: 01:07:30Patron question: 01:41:30\nThe Common Descent Store is open!
