Woods Lecture Series: Steven Brusatte

The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs

Where did dinosaurs come from? How did they go extinct? In this talk, University of Edinburgh professor and paleontologist Steve Brusatte, consultant for the Jurassic World film franchise and author of the book The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs, will recount the complete story of the dinosaurs and how some of them live on as today’s birds. As we Homo sapiens already begin discussing planetary extinction, dinosaurs are a timely reminder of what humans can learn from the magnificent creatures that ruled the earth before us.
