Actually he's right. Before dna testing and carbon dating were used to double check that the bones were actually related, there were lots of cases of "New" species being mixes of several other known species, or several unknown species.

I mean, it's really not that hard to understand that piecing together a dinosaur using nothing but a half dozen bones you find in a layer with dozens of other bones would be a difficult process fraught with mistakes. Especially when bones are similar. Even more so when you know the history of archeology and the rush to get as many species discovered and named as possible. They were even smashing the bones of rivals to slow them down. Look up info on the "Great dinosaur rush" or the "Bone wars" for more info on that.

Here's a short page about reconstruction errors
http://palaeo.gly.bris.ac.uk/Palaeofiles/Frauds/reconstruction.htm

Nothing about this is proof against evolution like >>337116948 seems to think, but it is proof that scientists are fallible human beings and that attempting to describe and categorize species when you have nothing but a few bones is like being given 3 pieces out of a 500 piece puzzle and being asked what the completed picture looks like. You can make educated guesses, sure, but thats all they are.

And to the rest of you calling him an idiot.
He's actually right you fucking mouth breathers.
Most of the dinosaurs probably look nothing like our estimation of it. Because the scientists for some reason seem to think that skin just wrapped over bone in the exact shape.

There's a book that shows how many animals would look like, if they were drawn from just their fossils like they do to the dinosaurs. The regular animals you're so familiar with, would look NOTHING like you know them to look.
The other anon is also correct in that we do sometimes get the bone structure wrong, in fact, more often than you would think.
We're not masters of biology by any means yet, of course we're going to make mistakes. But i forget most of you, in a desperate attempt to sound smart, will just regurgitate the same bullshit any guy in a white lab coat says just because of your association with him being more credible, and smarter than you are. Which he may be, but science doesn't get this far with dickheads like all of you, who just repeat shit without question.

Reconstruction errors aren't the same thing as putting random bones together, and almost all of this shit is from before 1880 when palaeontology was just getting started and people had no clue what they were doing

>>337125802
There's a lot of interesting history with "Scientific imperialism", the rush to go discover and name things. There's a reason so many internal structures are named after some dead german surgeon from the 1800's.

Because it's easier to just tell you that the scientists or archeologists, or anyone for that matter, are 100% right, infalliable and unquestionable.

Then the lot of you dickheads will end up spouting this incorrect information on the internet because all that you need to call someone an idiot is to know that you're on the side of pop science.

Yes, even your precious scientists can be corrupt and lie to you for other gains. Maybe, juuuuust maybe now you'll start trying to think for yourself, instead of just rushing to wikipedia and quoting some white coat, then just crying "SOURCE, CITATION NEEDED" whenever someone doesn't conform to same input as you.

Fuck off with your pedantic rant

No-one is repeating shit without question except you and that other fag - of course fossils get looked over with more scrutiny nowadays than in the 1800s, and obviously shit is hard to determine to what it looked like, especially as you only have bones. You can attach muscles to that through indentation and all that, but you can't replicate the actual skin, colour, or anything regarding its lifestyle without guesswork or luck (like finding traces of melanin or feather attachment. That doesn't mean prehistoric animals you see nowadays are randomized fantasybeings made up for money. We're not with Cope and Marsh any more.

It's not people putting random bones together, but it is understood that when you have nothing but bones to base your reconstruction on, many aspects of those reconstructions can be wrong. Exponentially more so when you have fewer and fewer pieces.

The book "All Yesterdays" goes over this in detail.

I'd attack the fact that you retards aren't even close to understanding biology to it's fullest, to understand why things are and function the way they do, even when it's not seemingly for our benefit. Not even our smartest on the planet combined can tell you what life is and why everything about it works the way it does. Even less do they know everything about it.

But you guys put in a funny enough way for me to ignore it.

All Yesterdays is about artistic biases, not "putting together random bones"

You realize that's OUR fault right?
Because we took care of our teeth and they don't rot out like they're supposed to, our wisdom teeth don't have room to come out like they normally would have.
Wisdom teeth issues come from our new found dental hygiene.
We're still better off keeping our teeth clean but it was never supposed to be that way.

"All Yesterdays" is not more than an interesting imaginary exercise, we can determine more or less how creatures looked based on bones. Although with limitations.

Assuming you have the full skeleton. If you've got remains like Therizinosaurus for instance, you really have to make a lot of guesses based on what are believed to be related species. And if you don't have any closely related species, it's even worse.

Oh really, because the first response to anything that may contradict what most of you were told to know in elementary and middle school (especially when it comes to dinosaurs) is immediate and aggressive defense to that knowledge. Most people cannot fathom that the infallible scientists they were told were so smart they figured out the dinosaurs, could have actually be wrong about it, sometimes even deliberately.

And this pretty much goes for anything. It's like your brains are literally REPLACED with school and wikipedia. If something can't be googled and backed up by some fag like Einstein (no disrespect to the genius, but yes, even he, can and will be wrong) or Hawking the lot of you, with great snark and almost piety, will deny absolutely any contrary information, or even so much as a suggestion that they could be wrong or questionable.
It's annoying, that no one can express disbelief or disagreement with pop science without that shit happening. It's like thinking about something for yourself instead of just shouting "CITATION NEEDED" is considered a bad thing now.
