Tom Holland charts how mankind's interpretation of prehistoric remains has changed over the centuries, exploring ancient stories developed to explain the discoveries of bones and fossils. He also reveals why some of these myths went on to influence the work of modern paleontologists, and learns how traditional Native American stories led to one of the most important archaeological finds of the 19th century
