#shorts #scinews #science news #science #science max #dinosaurs #fossils #paleontology #rivalry #ego #vanity #discovery #bones #history #science In the late 1800s, paleontologists Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh engaged in a bitter rivalry to discover and name dinosaur fossils in the American West. Their feud led to bribery, sabotage, and childish antics that damaged paleontology’s reputation. But their work also uncovered over 100 dinosaur species, laying the groundwork for our modern understanding. Their tale reminds us that scientists are imperfect humans prone to ego and vanity, and being a great scientist doesn’t mean you’re a great person.
