I'm Alice Roberts. I'm an anatomist used to working with human bodies. It's not hard to put a human skeleton together. You only need to look in the mirror to get a pretty good idea of where the bones go. But what do you do when the bones belong to animals that went extinct millions of years ago? We all think that we know what dinosaurs look like. We've seen plenty of them in pictures, in films, in animations, even in toy shops. But given that the last of the dinosaurs died at about 65 million years ago, none of us has ever actually seen a living dinosaur. So how do we know what they look like and how can we be sure that we're getting it right?
Here in Crystal Palace in South London, you can still see the first dinosaur exhibition that was ever built anywhere in the world. The sculptures were unveiled in 1854. It was the start of an obsession that we've never got over. But it wasn't long before the science behind these reconstructions had lost credibility.
