00:00 Dinosaurs were the most successful land animals in terms of longevity, lasting 130 million years, and should not be judged inferior to humans, according to American paleontologist Robert T. Backer.

05:48 The discovery of dinosaur eggs in the 1920s raises the question of whether dragons are a memory of dinosaurs, and there is evidence to suggest that dragons may be associated with fossils found in China.

10:46 The Bible does not mention dinosaurs, and it wasn't until the 17th century that people began to question the age of the Earth and consider the existence of prehistoric dinosaurs, with the Archbishop of Armagh, James Usher, famously calculating the creation of the Earth to be in 4004 BC, but it was Christian priests like William Buckland who played a significant role in the study and naming of dinosaurs, with Buckland coining the word "megalosaurus" and another scientist mistakenly naming it "scrotum humanum."

15:41 In the early 19th century, William Buckland and Gideon Mantell played significant roles in the study and naming of dinosaurs, with Mantell discovering the tooth of an iguana and later the bones of an iguanodon and another creature called Hyliosaurus, but their work was overshadowed by Richard Owen, who founded the Natural History Museum and drove Mantell to an early grave, ultimately keeping his skeleton in a jar.

20:50 The discovery of dinosaurs is associated with the Industrial Revolution and the scale of land exploration in Britain, driven by the need to understand geology, leading to the curiosity and efforts of both amateurs and men of science in finding and studying fossils.

25:35 The discovery of dinosaurs and their relationship to Darwinism begins to shake people's faith in Christianity during the mid-19th century.

30:32 In the late 19th century, paleontologists Edward Drinker Cope and Charles Othniel Marsh compete to discover and name as many dinosaurs as possible, with their rivalry eventually leading to financial ruin and the intervention of Andrew Carnegie, who buys up their collections and names a dinosaur after himself.

35:18 Dinosaurs are still seen as symbols of industrialization and capitalism, but are also starting to be viewed as evolutionary dead ends and more suitable for children, while in the Soviet Union, dinosaurs are depicted as a collective force against the Nazis.

40:16 Dinosaurs have undergone significant changes in our understanding of them, from being thought of as cold-blooded reptiles to warm-blooded birds, and the discovery that birds are actually dinosaurs challenges the notion of their extinction.

45:04 Jurassic Park represents the dangers of science and the potential for science to go wrong, but it also sparked interest in dinosaurs and led to the discovery that birds are descendants of dinosaurs.

49:53 The story of dinosaurs is intertwined with the idea of inevitable disaster and the end of the world, prompting us to question if we are the asteroid that could lead to global catastrophe.
