This time, the team is revealing the secrets of the fossils behind the scenes. Someone called it a comet of pre-history, and discovering new ones in South Africa. So it seems to be, if you like, caught in the act. We join the museum's palaeontologists. We're entering the world of fossils and bones, hoping to find out how people are using them to read the past and predict the future for all of us. Right here in the Natural History Museum, the Museum of Life. Once, museum dinosaurs were scattered fossils in wooden drawers. But in 1868, the curator of the Natural History Museum in Philadelphia had a revolutionary idea. He wanted to dust off the bones, put a dinosaur back together and find a way to stand it back upright. He wanted to give the creature scale, ferocity and drama, so he turned to Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins.
