      Careful observation and study, lots of reading and research, lots of conversations with other scientists, publication of ideas, lots of arguments about those ideas, and then – hopefully! – we start to reach some sort of agreement. People have been finding dinosaur fossils for hundreds of years, probably thousands of years, but it’s only in the last 150+ years that we’ve begun to make sense of what these fossils actually tell us.
