RealPaleontology
Hi, I'm Prof Steve Wroe. I've spent 30 years researching paleontology and published over 120 scientific articles on subjects ranging from giant sea scorpions to monster sharks, terror birds, Neanderthals, saber-cats and marsupial lions (see Google Scholar link). I've written many popular science articles too (see links). I figure this makes me a real paleontologist....
Here on RealPaleontology, I will present videos covering these species and many more. I'll also delve into broader questions, e.g., how do paleontologists predict behaviour in fossil animals, how do we determine their relationships to each other, and what drives extinctions in the first place? We begin with a series focused on animals that have dominated their ecosystems: the super-predators.
I aim to provide entertaining content for anyone interested in learning about paleontology from a real paleontologist, backed by direct access to the latest research. I hope you will enjoy.
