So again, maybe tech will advance.

But for now, humans are quite incredible.

Yeah, we are.

But also, paleo is kind of at the bottom of the pile.

There's not many of us.

We don't have a lot of funding.

It takes real money to adapt stuff.

So we're scanning stuff with MRIs and things like that in hospitals.

But it mostly doesn't work very well because the problem you've got is, like I said, the bones take on some of the properties of the minerals in which they're embedded, which means their density is really similar.

And things like MRIs or seismic activity is basically looking for differences in density.

Well, if it's the same density as the, you know, it's like I put some green plasticine in some blue plasticine, there's going to be a bit of a join and they're going to be very, very slightly different.

But ultimately, you're not going to be able to detect that through most means if you're looking for density or mass or anything like that.

I mean, that's not a million miles off.

I think Darwin had an analogy like that.

We've got a few words on a few pages.

Spread out, but between them, you get an idea of what the story is and where it's going.

Well, or dumb luck.

I mean, the dinosaurs were doing absolutely fine until a dirty great rock hit them.

And you can't, you know, Ben Affleck and Bruce Willis movies aside, there's only so much you can do about that.

Yeah, there's a lot of bone on there.
