The Dinosaur Renaissance

The Dinosaur Renaissance was a cultural and scientific movement that began in the 1960s, sparked by increased discoveries and research about dinosaurs. It shifted public perception from viewing dinosaurs as slow, primitive creatures to recognizing them as dynamic, complex animals, much more similar to modern birds and reptiles. This era also prompted advances in paleontology, inspiring artists, writers, and scientists to portray dinosaurs in more accurate, exciting ways, fueling widespread curiosity and knowledge about these prehistoric animals’ biology, behavior, and evolution.
